Glow igniter problems
 
RC10GT RTR--- Hey have any of you had trouble with rechargeable igniter's?

I've been having a lot of trouble starting my car for the last few days. While searching for the problem tonight I found that my Igniter wasn't maintaining good contact after locking it onto the plug!

It is the Thunder Tiger Red Glo-Starter. I think it's become defective somehow. What I finally figured out is when I lock it onto the plug the spring loaded center part binds up in the tube like the spring is too weak or some thing is binding, and there is not a reliable cercuit. When I let go of the igniter the plug quits glowing.

Wish I'd have figured it out before I developed these nasty open wounds from pulling the starter so many times :mad: .

Glow igniter problems
 
I had a problem with my GT RTR ignitier too. I'd tug on the pull starter a couple times and it would fall off. I wanted an igniter that used a standard C cell anyways, just incase I forgot to charge the Nicad one, so I went and paid the 7 bucks. Haven't used the one that came in the kit since.

Glow igniter problems
 
Mine is on it's way so I'll keep your points in mind when it gets here and use my other glow igniter instead.

Thanks guys! :)
