He also said instead of the pull start i can pickup some kind of automatic starter ramp thing i have no idea what he was talking about. Anyways Im not exactly sure what I should be getting so can you guys tell me what i should be looking for and what to get and not get? Please keep in mind i know nothing about this stuff so plain english works for me
lol thanks
Welcome!
First off, the RC10GT is an off-road vehicle and this is a on-road vehicle thread. The off-road guys can probably give you some better advice about what to do with your off-road, but there are some guys here that run off-road as well (not me). You'll probably need a new glow plug. A new glow plug charger? Hmmm. Those run on a battery. Is the battery no good? And a new pull start? Sorry bro, I don't know enough about pull starts to give you advice on replacing one, but since you're new, keeping a pull start may not be such a bad idea.
Second, go to my Web site and read the beginner's section. It's for on-road, but it's applicable to off-road as well.

Then just below that, are some "Nitro Basics" videos. You want to watch those, as the guy is using pull-start engines and off-road vehicles to boot!
Anyway, take a look at that stuff and see if it helps.
Have fun with your truck.
BTW. Here is a product page on your truck, in case you haven't already seen it.
