It usually takes 12 hours to charge the glow igniter for the first time. You might get the engine started once on a half hour charge. fully charged though the starter will work for a few days if you run for a few hours a day. I like to charge mine overnite before I use it the next day though.

Thats too true^^^^ I would literally beat myself to a pulp before I could bring myself to sell my Savage[:@] I have a Racer's Edge ignitor, I've charged it a total of 4 times over the last year and a hlaf that I've owned it.... The stock 3000mah Sub C cell lasts for months for weekend running. Ive never actually depleted the battery, I just charge it up just in case it does turn off on me[8D] 12hrs of charging is just about right[8D]

Yea this hobby is sweet and think it would be better if it ran. My instructions book stinks. Dont tell anything really. After work friday I will try again that way the glowplug starter is charged full. i think thats why it didn't start. Well it started for like 3 sec. then nothing.
