I just baught a used rustler and i was wondering a few things. First when i got it the wheels were off and i dont know what oreder the bolts and washers go and if its missing washers or bolts. Then i also want to know if in order to start it do i need a glow plug ingiter? This is my first rc car so i need some help.
thanks

yes you do need a golw starter to start it,you cant figure out how to put the wheels on its really easy

Im sure its easy when it comes with all the right parts. Heres what happened. When i put the front wheels on and tightned them they wouldnt spin. do the washers go in between the wheel and axel?

Here yah go, should help out a bit http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr...tler_views.htm
You shouldnt need a glow plug if it has the easy start system, if it doesnt have the easy start system then you will need a glow starter.

your front tires shouldent be all the way tight, it has bearing in the tires.

does it have the ez starter, cuz if it does u dont need a glow starter, cuz the ez starter has a little wire on it that goes to the glow plug.

ok how to put the tyres on the front there should be 6 small washers , 4 for the font and 2 for the back the washers should be he same the same size as the bearings put one on both sides then put the bearings (their should be 4 of them as well) put one on each side in the centre of the tire they should drop right in then and then put the wheel on the axle make shore the bearing haven't fell out their positions and then put the other 2 washers on the out side then put the nuts on nice and tight not to tight make shore the tire can spin freely OK now for the back their should be 2 axle pins pull them out if they arn't now put the other 2 washers on the inside followed by putting the axle pins bak in then on the inside of the tire their should be a axle pin bolt not ( shore what its called ) with the tire put it on and make shore the pin are in the right position and do the same with the other side hope this helps

does it have the 2.5racing engine it hurls.

Ok i got the wheels on but now i cant start it. It has the easy start and when i press the button nothing happens. The two lights come on but nothing happens. the starter motor doesnt move.
what do ido

Check the wiring. Is everything hooked up?
Does the starter motor even try to turn it, or is there no juice to the motor?
Maybe the one way bearing in backwards?

to check if the bearings are on the right way, on the bottom of the chassi u will see the fly wheel try to turn it forwawd towards the front wheeles and if it don't take the glow plug out and check to see were the piston is if its at the top and u can't move the flywheel get a flat head screw driver and angle it on the flywheel using the chassi as leaverage ( remember u want to turn it towards the front so position it so u can turn the flywheel towards the front of the truck) then slowly turn the fly by usin the screw driver check down the plug hole to see were the piston is keep checking this till the piston is at the bottom of its stroke , u will be able to see when the piston is at the bottom. Then give it a sap she should fire up. if u can't get the fly to turn get the old hair dryer ( dan tought me this one ) and put it on as high as it will go and derect it down the glow plug hole get it really hot than try and turn the fly again this should work for shore

all ways make shore ur piston is a the bottom dead centre after use and to now when this its at the BDC get a permo marker and mark the fly wheel so u now and make shore u put the glow plug on nice and tight

hope this helps

Hey. I got it to almost work. The motor is trying to start but it wont. It sounds like its only firing every once in a while when i try to start it. what do it i do?

try priming it by putting ur finger over the exhaust tip and try to start it then after about 2 secs take your finger away and keep trying to start it. then it should fire up once the fuel has reached the carb make shore the fuel is traverling to the carb with no probs. if u prime it for to long u will flood ur engine and u will have to take the glow plug out and turn ur ST up side down and try and start id get a cloth or something so fuel won't don't go every were. and make shore your glow plug is on nice and tight.

could be flooded so try taking the glow plug out and rolling it over for a few seconds then put the plug back in and try it.
