ok i got my traxxas t-maxx 2.5 R thursday and it rained so i didnt take it out. Friday i started to tune it up and it strated to rain so i waited till after it rains to start breaking it in. I had some problems getting it to start but no biggy. Now i cant get it to start at all. I have tried 2 new glow plugs and the glow plug light still is not comming on. Can someone help me please? :-)

No its most likely no power to glow plug, check glow plug connection and wiring to glow plug. You can check glow plugs with glow plug ignator and also start your engine ,if ez start will turn engine over right.

Good Luck

i have tried 3 different glow plugs how can u tell if the wire is bad?

nitro psyco

pull the plug out and attach it to the glow plug wire the glow plug should turn orange when turning the engine over.

ill try that in the mornin thanks any other suggestions if that works?

you ll have to put the glow plug on the engine to ground it out to get it to glow... make sure your ez start battery is well charged, when it gets low it will not heat the glow plug but roll it over. keep a charged glow ignitor handy for when that happens.
