I have broken in my 3.3 and besides the fact it eats up glow plugs and I have richened it up, I now have a new problem. I tried setting the LSN and now I can't get the engine to start after it quit on me the other day. I have now reset the needle to the factory setting and the car keeps burning up glow plugs when I try to start it. So now it won't start and when it does it burns up glow plugs or the plugs are filled with junk... Help!

take the engine apart clean it REal good with nitro or denatured alchohal then put it back together with an mc-8 plug and tune it to factory settings then tune it out.
 
I took the engine apart at Traxxas' request to get a better look. Engine failed at the connecting rod and is filled with greasy pieces of metal, I'm sending it back to them. SOB!
