Default TMaxx Problem

Hey guys I have a Tmaxx with an OS 18. And for some reason I can no get it to start. The glow plug is good, it seems to be getting fuel. Just will not fire up. It has been sitting for awhile due to the fact that I have been out of town working for the last couple of months. Any suggestions????

Default tmaxx won't start

return all needle settings to factory settings, make sure there is no fuel residue that may be blocking the fuel line or around the nipples of the fuel tank, make sure the glow plug glows when you attach it to a glow plug starter, check receiver, transmitter, ez start, and glow starter batteries..

nitro engines can be stubborn in colder temperatures, so i would keep the truck indoors until you take it out and fire it up. or you could take a hair dryer or a heat gun to it before you fire it up...

yes the hair dryer will work or if you put after run oil in it before your start it will make it smoother to start

make sure that you are not using a cold or med plug if you are planning on running it in the cold. go get yourself a hotter plug
