great now my car wont start at all! it was running fine a few days ago. it sat on the shelf for about 4 or 5 days since it ran, so i take it off the shelf, replace a broken upright with a new one, and bam! engine wont start  , nitro engine cars are super fast, but they have an equaly bad downside: starting, starting them is hit or miss, one minute they run like perfect the next minute they have u pullin your hair out. little engines with PMS.
heres what i have so far:
ran the car for about 30min 1 1/2 tanks of gas:
car breaks a front upright:
sits on shelf for about 5 days (i didnt use after run oil or blead the engine of fuel):
upright bought, put on car, fill gas tank, pulls on pullstarter, no response:
took only the pullstart and heat sink head apart to get a visual on the piston movement and check for dirt (no dirt engine is fine glow plug is fine, air filter is great):
figure it may be a bad glow plug battery, replaced glow plug battery:
try to start it again no response + the clutch bell seems to be conected to nothing because it just freewheels! ( i didnt touch the clutchbell assymbly during the dissambly, how can it be acting up!:
fustrated, posting:
is it possible that fuel left in the gas tank and engine can get gunked up in the engine that quickly, or at a more deviant approach, is it possible that my local hobby shop for lack of a better word spiked the nitro fuel they sold me so it can gunk up my engine after a week or 2 and have me come crying back to them to fix my engine for $30 a pop
