Ok, so I took my nitro truck out for the first time today, and it wouldn't start for nothing...:\ I don't know what I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions and advice would be really appreciated!

Did you prime it first? Make sure your glow plug is working. Are all your needles fine?

Yeah... also make sure that the muffler is compressing air into the fuel tank. I ran into this with my acme. I stuck a small Allen wrench into the hole to open it and suddenly I was getting fuel to the carb.

Make sure your glow plug is getting fire.

yeah, we primed it, the glow plug should be brand new considering the truck is brand new, and we also configured the needles as well.
thanks for the responses, we think it's the starter glow plug that is giving us problems. but not for sure. it does not seem secure when we put it inside.
