Not Traxxas glow plug?

[hedghog]

I am having trouble getting traxxas original 3232 glowplugs where I live. The hobby shop recomended Model Technics F5 plugs. This is a Medium (CHR) plug.

Can I use this in my Revo 3.3?

I have seen something about long and short plugs?? Is this something I have to look out for when buying another plug than original 3232?

Also I have breaked in the engine and I read its important to chenge the plug even if ts still running. As I mentioned I can get the F5 plug and I also have a 3230 lying arround in my toolbox. But this is a HOT plug... Which one to use? Or should I order 3232 from abroad and wait for it?

You really shouldn't use a hot plug in the 3.3. Rule of thumb is "hotter" plugs are for small engines (.12-.15) and "cooler" plugs are for big blocks (.21-.30).

The 3.3 is an in between engine so I would imagine that a medium plug would be just fine. I've run O.S. 8 plugs in the 3.3 when I used to have it and it was very reliable. The O.S. 8 is a standard cool plug for big blocks.

dang. this seller raised his price. i got two 12 counts for $39.99 each, saved a couple bucks on shipping and ended up with a price of like $3.64 per each plug or something close to that. well, now he is selling them for $49.99 for a 12 count. there might be better deals than his, but he has 4 more available.
