Banbury Glanza Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Undo the glow plug from the car and put it in the starter to check the plug isn't dead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Most importantly do you have fresh nitro fuel and a working glow plug as it will not start without any of these and the 2 things banury glanza mentioned above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Okay ill give it a try now, i dont have any new fuel ill need to order some from online Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazy_eyes Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 do you have any control of the car? looks like recever or battery pack is missing? to start turn on transmitter then turn on car, i can not see a primer pump on your fuel tank so you gonna have to cover the exhaust up with your finger then pull the cord abit to get fuel through, clip on glow plug heater then pull and it should start. id recomend you fit a failsafe these can be brought for a few quid of ebay hope this helps and i've proberlly rambled abit (im on 12 hour nights and bit up for way to long) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Banbury Glanza Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 As above fail safe is well worth the money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corofin12345 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 pretty much all above.. check the glow plug first if thats working... re fit, go wide open throttle and put your finger over the inlet and pull the starter gently until you know theres fuel going in.. (this draws the fuel into inlet).. close throttle but not fully and put glow starter on and fire it up (abviously with car and controller on).. dont mess with the fuel mixture screw unless you have to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I've taken the glow plug out and i've found that it doesn't seem to glow so i'm going to order a new one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Banbury Glanza Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 There's the start of your problem lol. Let us know if that sorts it also I would use fresh fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aamir Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Oh not so sure i could do that. There's something else wrong with it. Basically i put my finger over the exhaust and then pull the pull star. Then put the glow plug in and it starts, then it gets ever so noisy with in 2 seconds of being on. Then if i pick it up it just accelerates without me even touching the controller. It gets faster and faster then i just turn it off (finger on the exhaust). it is also spitting some oil or fuel out from the exhaust, and there's a lot of it. Its also stinks too, weird smell. Erm also when the cars on the floor before i pick it up and its started it just wants to move but i obviously don't allow it to. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Aamir Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is it something to do with the idle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
