Is there any differences in glow plugs ?Or not really.I never changed the one in my nitro rustler and it's still ticking!!I just want to get back ups for my rustler and new 3.3 t-maxx that is on order right now.I can't wait!!
 
There is a difference in brands. Traxxas plugs suck IMO. I use either OS plugs or Mccoy 8 plugs. Traxxas plugs are not as durable and don't last as long IMO. But you can ask 10 different people and you will get 10 different answers. My 3.3 engine's run the best on OS plugs and to me it seems they hold a better tune with OS plugs.
 
I used O.S. LC4 medium plugs when I had my T-MAXX 3.3 and 20% nitro. I use the same combo now in my Savage X and XL.
 
I also prefer OS plugs over traxxas. My LHS charges a bit more for them but it's worth it. Also if you still use the EZ start with built in ignitor, it can be difficult to fit the spring of the blue wire over the tip of the OS plugs. I recommend swithching to a glow start anyway.
 
I used to use OS #8's a lot until I started using mccoy MC8's. I tend to get better power out of my engines. I use OS LC3's in my TRX engines though as they are a bit longer than standard plugs, like TRX plugs.
