Help Starting my SS Hyper Cage

[wardy_mk]

Hi All.

I'm a total noob to all of this stuff so please bear with me. I'm trying to get my son involved in something other than computer games and am giving RC cars a go because it might get him interested in the mechanics, get him outside, etc, etc.

Anyway, I can't get my car to start today. I've got a torque start and have done the following checks:
1. Checked the glow plug and the stick to make sure it's all in order - it is.
2. Made sure there's fuel in the line going to the engine itself.
3. Charged all servo batteries.
4. Filled the tank with fuel.

It may be worth noting that that last few times I tried the torque start is made quite a different sound - almost a screeching noise - instead of the normal one..... not sure if that indicates anything?
Not sure what else it may be?
Can anyone help please?
Also, is there a checklist of things I should do before I leave the house as I've been out to join a group of people 3 times and my car hasn't been well every time!

Thanks in advance.
