First, if this is your first nitro rc. Take some time and go over the manual real good to familiarize yourself with the truck and its componets. This being a new rc, the engine is going to have a ton of pinch and will be much easier starting of you pre heat the engine with a hair dryer before trying to start. Heat it up over 100 degrees, then try to start it and see if that helps.

These little engines can be stubborn when they're new......

First off...WELCOME TO NITRO! Its fun but can be a little tricky.

Sounds like you need to prime the motor with fuel. You can do this by putting your finger over the exhaust pipe stinger while bumping the car on the starter box or by disconnecting the pressure line from the exhaust pipe and blowing on it while keeping your finger over the stinger. You should see fuel flow through the lines to the motor.
