I received my new Battalian Yesterday and i broke it in. Afterwards i drove it around a bit and turned it off with no fuel left in the tank or lines. The car was running great and no major problems. Now i tried to start it today and the car will not prime. I would block the exaust pipe and pulled the cord(my way of priming). But at no point did i see fuel running through the fuel lines even with a full tank of nitro. So i assumed dirt got into the carb. so i cleaned the carb and i still had the same issue. Can anyone help me?

Dirt in the carb wouldn't cause that.  You obviously lost the back-pressure somehow, but my most obvious guess would be an air leak.  make sure the fuel tank lid is on tight, and check to make sure that the lines, tank, or pipe aren't cracked anywhere.

i figured out what it was. I had a fuel filter on and for some odd reason when i took it off the car primmed and ran fine. And with my luck when i was running my car the nut and bolt that connects the wheel to the steering servo fell off so now i have to find another set. Angry
