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? [:@]

Try a fresh plug
Make sure your glow igniter is fully charged.
