Personally I think both of your issues are tuning related.
Have you broken in the engine?
Have you tuned it at all yet?

Yeah it might be tune, but come on the most obviosu choice is the glow plug. theres a 90% chance thats his problem. if that doesnt fix it, then he knows hes gotta tune some, but chances are is your plug. Make sure your igniter is fully charged also.

Normally I'd agree with that....But, he's a noob, probably with his first nitro and he's got another thread about the vehicle cutting out when it shifts.
Combine those two threads with the fact that he doesn't give hardly any info and I'd bet the plug is OK and that he's just running real rich.
