I just bought a GXII from Frankton Models and had them do the pre run in service. Along with it, I bought a competition heater as well.

Any suggestionss? I am using the GO starter box on a 12v Gel cel battery. Could the gel cel perhaps be the problem? Would a gel cel usually have enough grunt to turn over a new GO, or should i look to upgrade to a lipo?

Frustrated the hell out of me and have packed it in for the day.

Cheers

the gel-cell and new engine dont mix well, preheat to 180 to 200. before start. atleast through the first 2 gallons, i think the problem is the gel-cell, i use a 4s lipo in my ofna box and will spin anything, ive actually spun my truggy right off the box
