I have the Kyosho Audi R8 FW-06 model and I can't get it to move, it starts with the igniter in the engine but when I remove it, seconds later it will shut off. Now all the servos work I have checked multiple times I have also checked the carbarator opening and it is 1 mil ammeter. I am wondering if the problem is that the engine settings are to rich and will turning the low speed needle fix this? If not what should I do to fix this?

-Thanks for the help

Get a new glowplug. Removing the ignitor and the engine stalls it is for 99.99% the glowplug.

Are you sure it's not the clutch or something cause the glow plug is very bright and seems to work fine it could be the tuning to but I don't know what to tune

installed plug sometimes it doesn't stay bright once you removed igniter. maybe im wrong .

Is the car moving with the igniter on?

No the car doesn't even move and its brand new, could it be the gears or something or the tuning?

As far as checking if its a clutch issue ,just roll the car by hand ,the car
should roll freely on its own with out the fly wheel trying to turn on the engine!

If it does try to spin engine while pushing the car or hard to push the car
by hand,then it could be a clutch issue or in the running gear.

Ive gotten rc;s new before were the factory didn't assemble things right!...

That you did not tell.....
So the car, engine, plug is all brandnew?

Then the engine is probably set too rich, do you have a lot of smoke from the exhaust and a more grunge sound?

By the way, with used plugs glowing bright does not say a thing about a good working. The glowing is needed to loose up the ions from the glow wire which do help with the ignition. If the glow wire is black, rusted, overheated then the ions of that wire are affected as well.

Yes, it's all brand new so I should get a new glow plug you think? Or should I try tuning it to a more lean setting, because that is usually the case if the car won't stay on without the glow plug

What if I make a video of everything on my car and leave you guys a link so you guys can tell me what I need to fix? In the video I will start it and rev the throttle and such.

It sounds like a plan to me!
Because sometimes ,Its not a tune or engine issue!

Ok I'll make one tomorrow

Ok I made the video here is the link: https://youtu.be/ck9tptS1dzk

Help me out and leave me some feedback back here please!

The engine sounds rich...

Just screw the main needle an half turn in and see if it is better. Probably a full turn is needed.

The high speed needle, and turn it clockwise right?
