I Just Got My First Monster Truck I Got Some O.s Glow Plugs But It Takes Me 20 To 30 Mins B For The Truck Will Stay Runing When I Give It A Lil Gas I Changed To The Traxxas 3232 And Now It Starts Right Up And Goes Y Is That
 
It's kind of hard to read your sentence.


I'm guessing it starts up and goes because you have a new glow plug.
 
The other plugs are a colder heat range, thus they will flame out easier. I'm guessing you got a Traxxas truck? If so keep using the Traxxas plugs. They work best in Traxxas engines. Traxxas plugs are hot, which means a better idle and easier running/tuning with an engine that is set slightly rich. So many variables, read the stickies at the tops of the forums on tuning and such. you will get a much more detailed description than I am willing to type(peck).lol
 
What OS plugs did you buy? The LST2 stock engine does like a hotter plug, but I've run them fine with OS #8's. OS has many variations of plug. A3's are their hot standard plug. #8's are a little cooler. A5's are medium/cold.
