Correct glow plug

[dendan]

Oops... I put this question in the introduction forum, and it should be here.

I have an 8 yr old Carson/Tamaya car that was purchased in Amerstdam.

The motor reads "Force Model Company - made in Taiwan". A standard OS glow plug does not fit. The size is close but the threads appear to be different.

Any help finding the correct glow plug would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Turbo plug maybe? Get us some pics of the car, motor, etc. If we can identify it, it will make it easier to help you.

you could look into getting a replacement head with standard glow plug thread/fitment ??
most are interchangeable with engines of the same size...:\

but again pictures would be good

see attached photos

..hopefully. I have attached 2 photos of the engine.

I hope this will help identify what I need.

Thanks for the help!

Definitely a Force engine, 3-needle carb, any other numbers on it? What scale it it, 1/8 or 1/10?

i have had Force engines ever since i started. look in the manual for the engine and there should be a part labled 'burn room'. this is located under the head and is a pretty much a spacer about 1cm thick. the glow plug will screw into there. contact your LHS and see if they have a burn room with a bigger diamiter thread
