Long time RC hobbiest that has spent 20 years with electric. I did a lot of racing back in the day with my rc10T, rc10, rc10L and a few years ago got into onroad witha tc3 and tc4. I finally took the plung and traded the TC4 for an offroad monster truck. I got a XTM XFactor now but I'm having problems startig it. I got it started the 1st day but it only had a tiny amount of fuel. I ponied up 40 bucks for the 30% nitro like i was instructed and was able to get it fired up. it drove fine for maybe 10 minutes and I pulled it over to check the fuel. It had hardly any left so I choked it out and added more fuel. I tried to restart it but I could get it to fire. It seems to turn fine and then starts to crank but nothing. I think i flooded it bad because after to trying to start it so many times I saw some fuel coming out of the tailpipe. I left it alone all day yesterday and all night. I just tried to fire it up again this morning and it seemed to crank again but nothing. eventually it flooded again. I had my glow plug charging all night last night just in case. I have not taken out my ummm sorry this sounds horrible but I have not removed the piece inside my coil and drained the fuel. should I do that now? does it sound like maybe my glow plug is bad? Just looking for some tips. I looked at a bunch of threads here and I think i have it narrowed down but not sure yet. I'm guessing i need to take out the piece in the coil and put the glow plug on to see if it gets hot or not. Sorry to sound so dumb but appreciate the help!
