It wouldn't start. It would only run with the glow plug igniter on. When I did get it to run, the RPM's went to like 50,000 and it stopped. Never could get it to start again. I'm trying to get some help in the Redcat Racing sub forum. I was given some suggestions on how to set the carb to try to get it running. Wish me luck. My fingers have blisters on them I pulled the starter so many time on Saturday. I do however, get my Sidewinder System for my Rustler today.
sounds like you need a new glow plug and your setting are all messed up.
You need to be sure with the radio and car on, there is a 1mm gap in the carb opening. sounds like yours is bigger since the rpm's revved out like they did.
you also need to set your low and high needles.
the low needs to be set 3 out from closed (3 full 360 degree turns counter clocwise)
the high needs ot be set to 2 1/2 out from closed (counter clockwise)
This should get you up and going, if your engine is set to rich you may need to keep the igniter on it to keep it running so try the settings i gave you before you swap out the plug. I put a picture for reference for you
