RE: hpi rs4 glow plug problem
Honestly, I'd post your question in one of the nitro-related sections of the forum. This one's just too generalized for people to find it.
The other thing is that you really haven't given enough information - as it could be anything from a tuning issue, to what brand (and temp) glow plugs you're using.

what model engine?
Was it bought new or used?
Have you tried replacing the glow plug? I use MC9's in HPI Nitro Star engines, C5's which I think it came with(been 2 years since I got my last new small block) I could never get it to start with.
Have you reset it to factory defaults? (2.5 turns out from fully closed)
