Traxxas issues

itbrokeagain · 08-25-2011, 08:48 PM

I have a Nitro Rustler stadium truck. I was hauling ass down the street and I didnt notice the front clips coming off the body. The body came up and acted like a sail and the result wasnt very pretty.
It has the easy start system on it that turns the engine and lights up the glow plug. Might be coincidence but the glow plug wont glow. The starter "controller" has an indicator light and it is not lighting up. Battery is charged and it does turn the engine over. If I use my glow ignitor thingy it will fire. I am thinking it is a coincidence but wanted another opinion.

Is the blue wire connected to the glow plug good? This wire is know for breaking in a good crash and can be picked up Hamilton Hobbies on the cheap.

If you are sure that wire is good, we can dig deaper.

Not at all sure the wire is good. That is what I was thinking but wanted someone else to tell me. Thanks.
