Default Just got a new revo

Hey people

i am new to the forums, and have recently purchased a Traxxas Revo.

My truck is running great, and i am very happy with it.

i have one question though, On the dvd that is included with the truck, the guy takes out his glow plug and heats it up with the easy starter, when i took my plug out of the truck to do the same thing my plug will not heat up. so my question is can you only heat up your plug with the easy start when it is in the engine?

thanks people

Carl

your glow plug should touch the side of the cooling head while your pressing the ez start. and the blue wire should be attach on the glow plug.
