i just bought the hpi nitro firestorm 10t yesterday, and i just cant get it to start, this is my first nitro car and i kinda hav no clue wat im doing, so any help would be greatly appreciated

my pullstart is kindof locked up and very hard 2 pull(except wen i take out the glow plug, then its very easy) and when i test the glowplug, the top ring doesnt light up, do i need a knew plug? or is there a problem with the igniter?

a couple of things to try, 1, make sure you are not flooding the engine. Second, crack the plug open to ease the compression. I had to do this with both of my HPI motors. Tighten the plug up after the engine catches.

ok ill try that, i dont think im flooding the engine but im not really sure how to tell, and for #2 do i tighten the plug bak up while the engine is running?

yes after its running tighten the plug if you have the engine manual check the needle settings the plug should be ok but if you still cant get it to run replace it

When you set your needle, dont overtighten it at the bottom...it can damage the end !
when your engine is flooded it will be really hard to pull the rope ! ( or turn the motor )
if it is flooded just take the glow plug out, turn the car over & spin the engine a few times.
the fuel should pour out.
