More problems- Wont start?
I primed the carb again its def got gas in it and the glow plug is in but like its not as hard as normal too use the pull start and it just doesnt seem to wanna start, im using a rechargeble glow plug... any ideas?
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
did you take the plug out and put it in the ignitor and see if it glows, did you charge your ignitor for 12 hours before you used it. you may just need a new plug, os a3 works great
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
okay newbie question how can i tell if it glows? and yes it did charge for like 15 hrs lol
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
Yeah me and my friend too the igniter out of the engine and i connected the plug to it and it didnt seem to work well except when he put his finger on the end it burned him..idk how well its supposed to work but like we put it back in and it doesnt seem to be catching ? idk
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
you take the plug out, clip it in the ignitor and see if it lights up bright orange, and the whole thing, coil. when its cold out, its sometimes hard to start a nitro engine
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
Yeah it was not getting bright orange it seemed to burn my friend but other then that it wasent really doing much im prob gonna have to get a new Glow plug then[&o] uhh how much do they run and since i have a .28 size engine which should I get?
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
med/cold plug, os #8, they are less than $10 for sure, you have a local shop to go to?
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
Get an os #8 plug. They are like $6 here but I know they are cheaper other places.

RE: More problems- Wont start?
Yeah I got The Hobbie house which is like a 5-10 min drive from here, I bought my fuel from him so ill go in there and see if hes got some if not ill go through ebay. Its weird how i only went through like 7 things of gas and the friggen plug went... does this happen much?
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
9 times out of 10 your first plug will go out during break in. But some plugs last a long time while others will go out very fast. It is kinda depends on the plug you get. I always carry extra ones just in case.

RE: More problems- Wont start?
Alright good stuff, ill buy two then along with some fuel since my quart is almost gone. Do the ignitors ever go? Just wondering and uhh Is there anything else i should buy for the car that may go? or i could use? just need opinions
|

RE: More problems- Wont start?
Best is to buy several plugs. Over time i probably have close to 20-30 plugs for various driving and tuning.
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
thats a lot of glow plugs lol
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
alright i bought a OS 8 plug works amazing haha ! But now i gotta tune it, lol first it was running away from me now its like stalling it i hit the gas too fast and yeah lol but ill get it, also the wheels are like going to the right but the trim is dead center idk lol ill figure it out
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
trim it so it goes straight, that trim know is for adjusting the steering.
tuning video's: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oSmMzpZM_As http://youtube.com/watch?v=BJFsJAxNoRg |
RE: More problems- Wont start?
Alright gonna watch both videos yeah idk i think the controller might be broke cause when i turn it too the right its a hard stop but when i turn the wheel too the left it feels like it hits a bump and then goes a lil more and the left turning isnt strong the right is..

RE: More problems- Wont start?
its hard to say, anything is possible, there is a 30 day warranty on the radio system so if you have had it for less than 30 days and you think there is a problem with it, contact redcat or the dealer you got it from.
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
Yeah i just got it so ill see i was thinking about upgrading the radio either way so thanx ehroof you've been very helpful =)
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
your welcome, since your racing with the family, get a dx2 radio system from spektrum, this way you dont have to worry about frequencies, its a little pricey though. a good, cheap radio is the futaba 2ph, its like $50 and comes with radio, reciever and 2 servo's
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
Alright i'll look into that =D
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
The Futaba 3PM is a decent 2.4 gig comes with one receiver. Around $200.00. Highly adjustable for a midrange transmitter. Ten model memory.
|
RE: More problems- Wont start?
had some bad luck with the futaba's 2.4 lately. And there warranty stinks. Stick with spectrum.
