New To RC
Hello, Iam new to RC. I bought a GT10 with a OS .18 CV-R and muffler, Nomadio Sensor Radio, and alot of parts, wheels & tires. Went I bought it Idrove it. Paid the man and left and went home ( 30 miles ). Played with it at my house for about 20-30 mins. Iget up this morning and try to start it. Nothing happened. It has a pull start on it right now. In the stack of parts I got a elec. back plate. Should Iput it on and use it due to the problem of get ***** out by the pull start. ( Ieven tryed the blow dryer trick ) And also... I put the truck on the charger all night last night and when I truned on the radio and car this morning it said it was still died. Iwent and bought a brand new hump back. Icharged it for about 5 hours and turned everything on again and it said the same. Do I need to get a new charger? If anyone can help me out that would be really nice. Thank alot.

RE: New To RC
Ok I'm confused as to what is dead as so you say......... And what told you that it was still dead?????????????
Does you radio tell you the batteries are no good on the receiver?
I would def. buy a new charger if your batteries aren't charging at all....... Also it may not be starting because either your glow plug is no good, your ignitor needs to be charged (or if uses a battery, needs a new one), or your not priming it right and maybe flooding it etc etc.............

If nothign is responding at all, your radio or receiver might be the issue. For your starting problem....need more info. Does it turn over in attempt to start?

RE: New To RC
Just bring it to your hobby shop if there policy allows them to touch your nitro car! Then they can probably start it up Hopefully your hobby store is even allowed to tincker with your nitro since mine can't and most of them can't since nitro engines have alot of things that can make them not work right. Don't quite on nitro just yet and GOOD LUCK
