Anyone use these glow plugs?

[JSY0829]

Someone from another site suggested using McCoy MC59 glow plugs on my Tmaxx. I have the TRX 2.5 and using 20% nitro fuel. Anyone using these plugs and do you notice a difference from the stock Traxxas plugs?

My lhs says that the mc59 is great for smaller engines and cooler days for slightly larger engines. I've been running a mc59 in my .15 and a mc9 in my .18 and everything has been good so far. Minus my pinching problem.

Some people use the trx plug, I used the mc59 in my 2.5 and had no problems. It ran great.

I didn't have any better or worse luck with it in my revo than I did with an OS #8, traxxas hot or OS #3.

WTH, I'll give em a try. I found some on ebay...3 for $12 plus $2.48 shipping.

The MC 59 is a nice plug. I'v e had good luck with them in my TRX 2.5's and my OS.18's. Now days I've started using a tower hobby plug thats 1.50 cheaper than what my lhs chargers for a MC 59 and I can't tell a difference between the two plugs.

^^^^^^^^^^^ which tower hobby plug do you use?

^^^^^^^^^^^ which tower hobby plug do you use?

Tower ID number = LM2901

Now these plugs are a little shorter than the MC59's but everything else seems the same to me. Just an FYI, It's cheaper to buy two 6pk plugs than a single 12pk plug set. I would proubaly suggest buying just a few at first to see if they'll work for you before buying 6pks etc.


Good luck

I use nothing but and they work very well and don't cost an arm and a leg!

I felt that the stock plugs get burned out so I switched to OS #8

I use the Mccoy MC8 on an early Tmaxx, it runs great with these, a little cold though.
