Well I ran my t-maxx this morning and had no problems, I ate lunch and then decided to go back out and start it up.I plugged the EZ start in and all I got was a motor light. I put and brand new plug in and it still wouldnt light. I then looked at the blue cable that connect to the glow plug and noticed a lot of cut into it where I saw the wires inside. They look to be connected fine :confused: . Is it more than likely that I need to replace this cable? Next time should I wrap electrical tape around it to protect it? Anyones past experience with it would be usefull :)

I split the insulation on the glow wire as well, after a few hard rollovers through some tough terrain. Wrapping a piece of electrical tape will do the job for a quick-fix. You don't want the bare wire to touch the head, otherwise it will short out the ez-start's voltage to the glow plug. Besides not lighting the glow plug, it could damage the ez-start as well. I've got electrical tape wrapped oround mine, and it's worked great. If the tape keeps coming off, or the wire gets worse, then you might want to replace it.
