Hey Guys....Long time reader, first time posting.

I just purchased a RTR Hellfire about a month ago. I have only run about half a tank through it due to some other issues (mostly cause by me). This is my first nitro car, im still learning so stick with me.

I was running it this weekend when the motor just shut off. It still had about a half a tank in it when this happened. When i tryed to get it started again the engine would not turn over. So i pulled the plug and tryed to pull it thinking that it may have hydro locked for some odd reason, but it still would not turn over. I have been really carefull not to run the truck to lean. I bought a temp gun when i got the truck just to make sure it wasnt getting to hot while i learned to tune it in. The truck was probably running a little rich when this happened, it was blowing a healthy amount of smoke.

Any ideas? Im going to try and take it apart tonight to check it out. I hope this motor isnt junk becuase i dont think it was caused by anything i did. Anybody else have something similar to this happen to them?

Thanks for you help ahead of time. I'll try and keep you informed as i dig in deeper.
