Hello everyone,
I have a Traxxas Revo 3.3, that was running flawlessly last night might I add, and now it wont start at all! I can't even get the glow plug to light up. I am pretty familiar with nitro, but this is completely boggling my mind. Here are the details of my situation and hopefully someone with more experience than I can help.
2 days ago I completely removed the engine, transmission, and carb, cleaned them as directed by Traxxas and assembled the truck back together with no problems. I ran the truck yesterday, and with a clean engine, it had never run as good as it did yesterday! However, this morning when I went to crank it up, I got nothing. Didn't turn over once. I started checking the basics and didn't notice anything so I replaced the glowplug, installed a new wire harness (which it needed b/c elec. tape was wrapped around old blue cord) and even bought a new starter box. After everything was installed and assembled...... STILL NOTHING!!
What in the world could have happened over night that would make the truck not run? I can not figure it out for the life of me. Even with the new wire harness and glowplug, when I removed the glowplug and kept it inside the blue cord it didn't even heat up. How is that possible?? What else could it be?? PLEASE HELP.
I went from 55 mph to 0 mph overnight when I was sleeping, smh, lol. Below is a picture of my Revo.
