my brother has an older nitro stadium truck (HPI I think) it has been sitting for a couple of years and wont start, i dont know that much about nitro cars so where would be the first place to starting looking, or replacing to get it running again.

Are you using new fuel or has the fuel been sitting for a long time too?

If it has compression get new fuel......20%.....a new glow plug and make sure your ignitor works. Before you put fuel in flush out the tank and fuel lines with alcohol. Then read the online manuel on the best way to start it

not sure about the fuel, it might of had some sitting, im gunna pick it up today. btw its a hpi nitro rush stadium truck

If it had fuel in the tank you need to get it all out.................get a cheap bottle of denatured alcohol from the drug store and flush it all out.........that should do it[:-]

ummm get new fuel and glo plug.. try it if not then get some wd 40 clean out ur engine and carb, may be rusted where the piston cant move. and if all fails new engine.
