Nitro Myth busting! GLOW PLUG and what you should know

[mjl]

when going up in nitro percentage from manufacturer recommendation it will ignite on the compression stroke when using a hot plug thus forcing the piston down while piston still not at top dead center (pre detonation). will cause excess heat. going to cold plug when running high nitro content will retard the timing and fire at top dead center . that's how an efficient motor should run. i run a off road monster truck (savage) but spend much time at wide open.

Simple rule of thumb hot engine cold glow plugs cold engine hot glow plug in other words if you have an engine that runs at high RPM cold glow plug if you have an engine that runs low RPM hot plug.

Hello sir what’s the replacement glow plug for OS.21 max VZ-M marine which the P7 is the specs on it

[aaronparrish]

Am I dumb but like if the motor is burning off comppresion why does it mater at all if it's just to start the motor I'm very confused please some one answer me

[jacoblynch]

I'm also going to add at least with the race engines most of them come with a shim that you either need to run or not run depending on the nitro percentage you are using most of them will never to tell you to change the glow plug but they will tell you to run the shim or not to run the shim, depending on the natural content

what glow plug do you recommend to use on a traxxas 3.3 and 10 nitro fuel? a friend has a revo and already burned a new glow plug with just a tank run, at that moment he was using 30% nitro fuel that was gifted from another friend but since high % nitro fuel are so expensive in our country he want to buy a gallon of planes fuel that is cheaper but just 10% nitro

[toddbertram]

I always thought the temp rating on plugs had to do with nitro/oil %. Good to know

Im curious.. Running on clay dirt oval 20/12 blend would the LC4 be the best choice?

I use for both of my trucks a hsp n3 and it runs fine never had a problem and there are cheap around 4$ and the do last long you get my word on that

is it true that picco uses different turbo glow plugs from other brands?

[shaun]

Where does a turbo plug fall into as far as length? Isn't there only one length of turbo plug? That's what's in my o s tz and I've always just ran what o.s calls for I was just curious if you knew about the turbo plugs

This makes a lot of sense to me, thanx for the video!

[ryanthethumb]

Im only getin like half a liter to a glow plug the tune is spot on they dont blow they get a strange build up on the element then it like pops and misfire like its lean but its not put a new plug in and its fine agen i dont no what causing it

So why does my car go faster with a cold glow plug than a medium or hot one??

[inoahmann]

I used to use long reach plugs in my vx18 any time I ran 10% or lower. It gave me a nice torque boost but it would ping super hard on startup. It genuinely hurt to start without gloves.

Does those glow plugs work on specific heat range and fuel types ? Culd it work on ethanol for exampel?
And what if your small engines exced temperatures do they do knocking back fire? Do those model plains and engines have some sort ignition timing control?

What’s the difference in sizes? I want to change mine but I don’t know the difference in them. Rc was my dads a long time ago and i wanna fix it up

[DavidJones-xpsh]

Will the No.6 fit into a rustler .15 and tmaxx 2.5? Recently I’ve gone through loads of traxxas super duty plugs is there a reason for that? And would you recommend that for the .15 & 2.5

[xtmnitro]

Hey having a problem with a xtm 24.7 I keep burning out glow plugs can’t even get a tank in before it go outs out it’ll run great for few mins then I can’t tell I’m losing power until it just gives I’m running OS medium no.8 plug and VP power master 25 % nitro any ideas were I might be doing wrong ?

[hugocinco]

Any recommendations for a dynamite .19 on 0% with 12% oil?
