Hello,
First of all - I have basicly no experience in this. I was using HPI Savage 25 like 10 or more years ago and when I left it in my garage. This year I decided to make it work and create some smiles for neighbourhood children.
I have checked the engine - there is no rust. The vehicle was left in normal conditions, so there is no effect from environment on the car. So, I filled up the tank, inserted roto start (as I remember, rotostart should move fuel from tank to curb) and nothing happens. All pipes look clean. I don't know about plug if it's still working or not. Don't know how to check that but as I understand, it doesn't effect the fuel intake from tank to engine.
Another thing - Fuel. It was placed in dark place but it was bought more than 10 years ago. I don't remember what colour it was originally (maybe pink), but now it looks quite brown. As I understand, it will be better to replace this fuel to new one?
Any opinions how to solve that? What to check? If needed I can upload photos but I believe that you are proffesionals here and understand how these RC models work without seeing how it looks Please let me know what you think about that problem. It would be great if I can make it work as soon as possible since many children are asking me when they will be able to try it
