Eating Glo Plugs With Pro15

[SilentHunterKellen]

My friends T-Maxx with a Pro.15 engine is eating the glow plugs everytime it is started. The glo plugs coil is smashed in after each run. What could be the problem? I want to race him and We can't race if he can't get his going...
Any possible solutions would be Greatly Appreciated

oh i dont no but ill try to find out

 

[Hunter]

What plug is he using??? And fuel???

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

Stock Plug (Traxxas) And O'Donnell 20%

 

[Hunter]

Will it run for a full tank or will this happen before the tank is out?
Also what is the engines temp if you know it?

 

[Kevrone]

How old is the motor??? Is there a problem with the crank or the rod Being streched. Or the Rod bearing being worn out?? Just a few sugestions. I am still new at this but these are a few things I would look into.

We fixed it, apparently he was missing a header gasket and there was an air leak in the fuel tubing so it was running way to lean. We fixed it and now he is running fine. His engine temp runs about 260º's. Thanks for the help.:beer:
