Hi All, I have a brand new hyper 7 .21. I have charged the glow plug strater for three hours (the one you get with the starter kit from model sport), tested the glow plug to see if it glows red, fitted it into the engine, installed the air filter, put fuel into the car, installed the battery pack to the car, turned the car on, turned the radio controller on, plut the glow plug starter over the glow plug, and tried to pull the pull start. As I've never owned a nitro car before, I can't compare my experience with others, but it seems to me that the pull start is too difficult to, well, er, pull. It jams on occasions, but when i do get it to pull, the car doesn't start. I have tried to pull it repeatedly but nothing seems to happen. Does anyone know what might be wrong, or what I might be doing wrong? It's bound to be a step I've forgotten to do or something.
