I'm quite new to rc cars but about a year ago i bought a Khyosho MFR with a electric starter and i think the engine is the GTX18. I has worked fine with minor problems untill now when the engine isn't starting. When i use the electric starter it runs fine but as soon as i lift it up the engine stops. I don't think i see any fuel flowing to the engine either. I recently had the starting motor changed and after that this problem has occured. I haven't got it running a single time since that. This might be just a simple problem or then a big one, but as i said i'm new to rc cars so i don't know.

Sounds like the glow plug is bad or you are running way to rich on the low speed needle (probably glow plug though) ....

glow plug

He sais fuel wasn't getting to the carb...make sure the tank is sealed and the lines are in plave. Also make sure your exhaust is properly setup.

He also says it runs fine till he takes off the starter ......
