my friend has a ofna rc car (gas) and every time we start it we take the glow plug out and it just diesout plz help

You mean you remove the glow starter.

It's a sure indication that the glow plug is bad.

Replace it and try again.

No you have to wait at least 10sec before you put the glowstart out

you shouldn't have to wait any amount of time to take your glowplug out. once the engine fires you should be able to take it out no problem. Theres no 10 second rule

Your glow-plug is probably bad

buy a new glow plug is the awnser:P there cheap

no new glowplug and every thing .we trid everyting

nicley said, thanks nitro

You shouldnt be taking out the "glow plug" after you start it, do you mean the glow starter? Which one of these are you talking about?

I'm sorry. i haven't been in the usa for that long just came from Russia my sister is teaching me how to type better.but I'm sorry if my grammar bothered you guys. and what i meant to say was wen we start the car is fine but wen we take out the glowstarter it stales

If that is the case - then most likely, the glow plug is bad and needs to be replaced.

I speak fluent Russian - PM me if you need help or feel free to post in Russian here.


Здравствуйте. Да, Я говорю по-русски.

zdrahst-vooy-tyeh. Da, ya gah-var-yoo pa-rooskee.

Yeah it sounds like the glow plug, but hey it may be just too cold outside, here last night it was like 28 degrees out and I was itching to play w/ the nitro car, and it was a pain trying to start it. It would do the same thing, I fixed it by putting a fresh battery into my glow starter, and when it lit, it stayed it. Also try you motor may be just too rich, I found out last night if its too rich, the nitro will put the glow plug out or something if too much fuel is getting in there, and if I kept the starter on the glow plug it would stay running. So i leaned it out a bit, and fired away, it fired up and I made my final adjustments and was away, untill i ran into a pole and broke an a arm.[:'(]

thanks for all your help everyone. we just got running again!!
