ENGINE PROBLEM

ENGINE PROBLEM
I was breaking in my new traxxas 3.3 engine, got to the 4th tank, and now it wont start. It wont even try if I dont give it full throttle, then it will rev but cut off. It was running perfect until then. Maybe a dead glow plug? because it was still hot when i tried to restart it. Please help me, I need it for tomorrow.

Sounds like a glowplug possibly failed, plus check the lid on the tank make sure its sealed. Make sure the fuel is getting forced down the fuel line. Place a fingertip over the exhaust tip to help "prime" the fuel up to the carb while trying to start the first 3 seconds or so. I recently had both issues happen to me on my jato 3.3 during break in.
