Default nitro engine won't stay started
Just got my car from redcat racing, and I have followed they setup and the car just won't stay running. it will run for about 3 seconds after i prime it, and then quits. I have worked with it for about 4 hours at this point, and have tried everything I can think of. can anyone help me out?
thanks

also check your fuel lines for air leaks and/or bubbles in the line.
