rc8 won't start??
hey everyone I just pulled my rc8rs out of the box. got it started and it just started goin. like the wheels were moving.(had it on a bench so it didn't take off though. it was as if i was squeezing the throtle, but i wasn't. also i found out I had to reverse the throtle servo on the seconed atempt. now i set my th trim so the th arm is being pulled just slightly and flooded it. I removed the glow plug and dumped out the fuel from the cylender and now she won't start at all. I have been trying for about 1/2 an hour. could it still be flooded? [:@]

thanx ivan. got it runin. and finished most of my brake in. it is runnin great for now. still gotta tune it up though. but its snowin, so i guess it will have to wait. I wonder if there are any indoor nitro tracks around me. i'll haveto find out, cause salt and rc together SUCKS! thanx again for the advice. worked like a charm.
