What exactly do you mean when you say "keep going out"? How long does a new plug last? What do the elements of the failed plugs look like? What % fuel are you running?

Running lean is usually the culprit for killing glow plugs. Especially if the low speed is too lean. I've done it many times in my early days of nitro rc.

im a virgin with these rc cars so im learning every day(maybe a week into it..and the car was used).Well anyway when i first got the car it wouldnt start,Then a buddy of mine got it started but as soon as i put it on the ground it would shut off..So....................I let my buddy tune it up for me. Relpaced a lot of stuff that was bad on the car and put a new pipe on it.....I was at Bennigens 2 saturadays ago....It ran for a while but got hot in about 15 minutes....Then i couldnt keed it running....Replaced the glow plug twice and was told the glow plug went bad both times.....Went to hobby store yesterday put a fresh glow plug in it, still no luck....SO...........................

If it got real hot that fast and started shutting off, I would say it's too lean. Riching it up some, both the hsn and lsn.

LEAN = HOT / RICH = COOL.
Look up the factory needle settings for the engine you have and start there. Factory settings will usually allow for easy starting and are slightly rich. This will give you a good starting point. Make sure you are using the correct glow plug for your engine also. Don't cheap out on glow plugs, always buy quaility plugs as they are very important. Any other info you can provide will only help you get the info you need. Type of fuel: Brand & Nitro % Glow plug: brand or # Always make sure there is a trail of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust under acceleration. If not...richen it up.

it's the only Hammond around so.....
If your truck wouldn't start but the back wheels were moving I'd say your clutch is hanging up.
