I'ii just stop trying now and take it to my hobby store tomorrow. I just bought it yesterday;

Its common for glow plugs to go bad when you are breaking in engines. Also I forgot to mention, did you charge you glow ignitor? Check by removing the glow plug and place it in the ignitor.

i charged for 12 hours last night... Then I can start the car fine and it won't stall for the first 2 tanks.. But on the third tank... when I take out the igniter, it would stall.. Then eventually,, I can't even start the car... I went home and charged for 1 hour and it would start again.. but it would stall after removing the plug. could it be the igniter not fully charged??

i don't have any friends that play RC cars and it's hard for me to look for tips from people and sometimes the people on forum don't reply. Your answer is really appreciated... this is my first Nitro truck and I'm so frustrated right now...... It's thinksgiving day and I can't get the truck running about two tanks.. all the stores are close..

no, it sounds like the glow plug is bad. What engine / truck do you have. Ill see if I can reccomend some glow plugs for you.

If it uses a short plug I would go with an O.S. 8. I use these and when tuned properly they last forever.

So basically, I have to wait until tomorrow when the shop is open and buy a new plug right?? Thank you so much for your answer, without these answers.. I'd be trying to get it working til mid-night. Now, I'ii just wait until tomorrow then....

No problem dude, but yeah your going to need a new glow plug. buy like 2 or 3 so you have some spares lying around. Welcome to the world of nitro and I hope you have a great thanksgiving day.

RE: Engine stalls when remove the glow igniter??

might also want to look into a 4 way or "glow" wrench as well

very nice tool to have and also can hold your glow plugs so if one dies while your out away from the shop you got spares and a tool to install it with
