I got about 3 tanks through my revo and starteed tuning it and now its going through glow plugs alot. What causes the engine to burn out glow plugs a lot? Was it cause its too rich or too lean or is there another problem thanks

usually a lean condition will toast a glow plug....but very rich running is hard on them as well...thats why after break in you usually have to change it.

Rich or lean can foul or burn a plug.
If its too lean, the engine will be getting hot. Little or no smoke from the exhaust.
If the engine is running rich, you will see a good trail of smoke from the exhaust, and the engine will feel sluggish.
One or the other. My money says its running lean.

if you have a 3.3 engine i can help. i have a jato 3.3 and same thing was happening to me. i was running at full speed for to long. 2 gear for about 200 yards. completley FRIED it. changed tuning settings and went easy on it and it was fine. i also bought 4 glow plugs instead of 2.
