I have a RC10GT with a dynamite .12 in it. I just got it off of the shelf today and it cranks right up. I get it tuned pretty good and take it for a couple laps around the yard.

Well, then it just cuts out and quits. It will not start back. No matter what i do it won't start.

My pull start arm is reminding me why i put the stupid thing on the shelf in the first place.

Any advise?
 
I can't remember... do these have a hose going from the muffler into the fuel tank? That hose puts positive pressure on the fuel and helps to push it into the carb. Is that working okay? Is your fuel pick up clogged? Glow battery charged? Is there gunk in the carb?

Remember, it only needs three things to run...fuel, ignition and air. Check and make sure you are getting all three.

These things are like diesels, they only need a glow plug to start. Its gotta be something to do with the fuel, I've got a t-maxx that does something similar but it will start back up. Have you plugged the exhaust while you turned it over?
 
Thanks for giving me some help guys.
I let it cool till yesterday. Went out and it started up and ran for about 1 min. Then bogged down and quit.

I am going to clean it up and see what I can figure out. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
