guess wat i did today
allright so im at my uncles house, and he lives in cayon city. so i brought my S-maxx thinking it would run because he owns 12 acres so i really wanted to run it. it wouldnt start! then i checked the glow plug it was fine but the ignighter was dead or something so my BRILLIANT uncle decided to hook and alligator clip and a battery eliminator! 3 volts IT LIT UP LIKE THE SUN! bright white. it started! i ran it for a long time. so you should all ways bring a volt meter to the races! just incase!

Your post makes no sense. Your glo-ignighter was dead and when you hooked a voltmeter up to it, it suddenly worked? What?

it sounds as though his uncle used another vehicle, which was electric. It had an esc with a BEC (battery elemination circuit). This allows you to run your servos and other electronics off of the input battery and steps down the voltage to 5 or 6 volts and 3 amps. He then alligator clipped the glow ignitor wire to the bec output on the esc.
You can actually take a radio with a 3rd channel and wire it up through an esc to use an an onboard glow ignitor. Thhis means when you flip the switch to activate the 3rd switch it will automatically start the truck. One of the magazines did this to a jato some time last year--looked pretty cool for bashing purposes.

That doesn't sound very smart. Unless you or your uncle is an electrician, I wouldn't recommend messing around with your house's electrical system.

sounds like he used an adjustable lab power supply!
