Default RE: Motor starts, then quickly dies

Your plug could still be on the way out. If the filiment does not full glow you should change it. Get some extra anyway and try one just to be sure, for somewhere between 5 and 8 bucks it is worth a shot. My first RedCat would run until it warmed up and then it would shut off. I found out I had some air leaks, it is not a bad idea to seal around the carb with high temp gasket sealer just to make sure. Air leaks can be very tricky and can cause a ton of different symtems.
