Glow plugs question ?

what type of replacment plugs i need for a hpi nitro rs4 rtr3 ? i wanna buy some performance plugs thanks.

there are lots of different plugs out there. some are hotter some are colder some are long some are short.
I'm sure if you go to your hobby shop and bring your car or just tell them what you have and what engine they will know what you need.
but if not, OS #8 plugs are very popular, but if you want to spend a bit less on a plug the OS A3's work great too and are less expensive.
McCoy plugs are also very popular. just go check with your hobby shop and they will hook you up there.

Knowing the type of car is helpful, but knowing which engine you have is even more helpful when asking for what replacement plugs to put in it.

Depending on the engine, you may need a regular plug or a long plug.

Taking that out of the equation, there are a number of brands out there that are all decent. McCoy, OS, and Fox come to mind and they all make good plugs. Others will have more recommendations. Until we know for certain which engine you are running, the type of plug made by each will have to wait.

its a .15fe

Is that the stock engine? Made by HPI? Or is that some other manufacturer like OS? Just asking.

Otherwise I'd recommend either an OS or McCoy plug based on the size. OS#8 or McCoy MC-8 or MC-59. I've run all three in my Fantom .15FR and they work just fine.

yes its a stock .15fe from hpi rs4. thanks for the info .

I reccommend the Team Associated plugs...I have the same engine and they work great along with McCoy
