Default revo should be borken in????

I broke in my revo 5 tanks of fuel like the video says, once i was finished i started to drive it and then put it away for about 4 hours took it back out started it and drove it around for about 35 min. and it all the sudden dided, it will run with the ez in it and but when you let go of the botton it dies....it runs when the ez start in it and the red button is being pushed down, im a pretty mechanical guy and nothing looks wrong it was running with blue smoke like the dvd said, seemed perfect, just dying to know what is wrong any suggestions, and will these thing realy rust over night if not de nitroed? thank you for your suggestions they are all valued.

p.s. is blue thunder good fuel, that what the guy at the hobbie shop said to us, it is 30%

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

You most likely need a new glow plug.

He said it Die-ded guys, As I see the spelling it means you must be young so go get the hobby stores help or your dads. No disrespect, just that is what you should do

If it starts and runs until you release the button on the ez-start then it needs a new glow plug. Breaking in an engine is hard on glow plugs and it's not unusual for one to get weak or go bad at that time.
Just because he mispelled a word does not necessarrly mean he's young and even if he (or she) is, so what. I've been tearing my nitro toys apart since I was 10, that's how you learn (at least that's how I learn)
He stated his problem clearly and asked politely for help. Not everybody is as clear or polite.
Change your glow plug. It's cheap and I bet it fixes your problem.

No offense to meant to you either but, grammer and spelling DO go along way to making you seem crediable.
But, I agree, lack of age does not mean lack of knowledge.

Yeah im not dissing anybody on lack of knowledge but if he didnt have lack of knowledge he wouldnt have made this post. I started tearing my stuff apart when I was like 7 or 8, (TYCO) I dont discriminate younger guys, just saying whats best, Would you tell a 13 year old to keep trying to shoot a shotgun, or do you tell him to get help?. Now if your from Iraq that shouldnt be a problem lol.

That's a poor analogy. You're comparing a deadly weapon to a toy.
Of course I would not give a 13 yo advice on operating a gun on the net anymore than I'd advise one on how to drive a 1:1 car.
Giving advice on how to work on an rc truck or, say, how to water ski or something like that, Yeah, that I'd do

I guess in this case it's irrelevent though as ant65 is 18

Blue thunder seems to be good fuel. That is what I am running in my tmaxx right now. And I have a new engine in it. I like it. And the price is reasonable.
