If there is not fuel in the carb i would cup the aircleaner with my hand and turn the engine over with the pull start/starter box. Then try to start it.

try a new glow plug if the car is new the glow plugs go bad pretty quick and try putting you finger over the exhaust pipe to prime it

After charging the glow plug ignighter try again. If it still doesn't start, there are a few things to try. First, loosen the glow plug a little. Once it starts...tighten it again (once the engine is properly broken in, you won't have to do this...heck, probably shouldn't have to after the first couple of times starting it). You can also take a hair dryer and warm up the engine before trying to start it. If this doesn't work, goto www.rccaraction.com and check their forums. They have sections for particular cars.
