Please please, i have been strugling since the last 5 months
</br>
I bought this HSP Gladiator used from a friend he said it worked fine last time he used it
I traied running it many many times , it is still in a new condition as it was only used 3-5 times
I found out that if i put fuel into the the engine it runs fine then when the fuel runs out after 5 seconds it turns off
The fuel is not going through the pipe,
I tried opening the high end screw that lets the fuel in to the engine i unscrewed it out to the max and still the fuel is not getting in,
Why im confused is because i have another Kyosho and there is a button On top of the Fuel tank that i press , and that pushes the fuel to the engine, but not with this car , it does not have that button
Please have a look at the pictures i made

Check the fuse and relay to the pump. If the pump does not come on at all, the problem can be in the ignition system. The pressure regulator may also be faulty and allowing the fuel in the system to flow freely back to the gas tank.
