Default Help...(long)

So i just put got a new HPI RS4 EVO and i cant wait to run it. I've finished putting it together and it starts fine and reacts to the radio controls, but not perfectly...( I know nothing and need some advice on setting this up that will probably seem pretty simple).

I put on the glow plug charger and start the car. When i do this is seems ok, but if i take the glow plug charger off, the car will die a few sconds later. I also have throttle and brake, but no reverse...Can someone please tell me how i can correct this and get my car on the road

Thanks

i had this problem last week..check if the glow plug is glowing hot BUT even if it is that doesnt mean that ur in the clear. sometimes the tiny heat coil in the plug can get pushed inwards. If the tiny heat coil is pushed inwards then u need a new one. If the heat coil is pushed inwards then it wont have enough power to run without the glow starter and thats why the car is stalling when u take out the glow starter.
