Is there a decent glow plug for my engines?

[jon2]

It seems that my MT12 and my 12RSS are picky on the type glow plug it uses. The MCoy MC59 seems to be the choice plug. I have tried to the OS #8 and whatever type the DURATRAX I used. Anyone have any issues?

I have used the Duratrax Carbon Speed plugs on the MT12 with great success.

Hey christian what are carbon speed plugs and how do they differ from the mccoy mc59?

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

They are just a standard plug made by Duratrax. The guy at my LHS turned me on to them about a year and a half ago. They work well in some of my mills. Not my big blocks though. Any .15 and smaller that I have run them in do VERY well.

It is a medium plug.

Here is one on Tower Hobbies:

I know that this is a different post but can you please look at my other post about cutting the shaft of my mt12? I really need an answer.

I dont know the exact length. I simply eyed it and went from there. Best bet is to leave a little extra on and dremel down to the precise length you need. Thats how I did it. You can always shave a little off, but forget about putting back on.

supermaxx what engines do you have?

 

[SuperMaxx97]

right now i run the XTM 24.7 engine, before i convered my maxx the mc 59's always worked like a charm. but when i went big block they just didnt work right, so my lhs recommended that i try the OS glow plugs. i did and now that is what i run in it.
