hey guys i was running the revo today and went through 2 plugs and dont know why they burned so quick.i had the os number 5 and it was about 42 outside , ani ideas
 
more than likely it's your carb settings. Being so cool outside you should be running a bit richer than if it were 70 degrees outside. My first guess is you are too lean.
 
i also saw that my plug was not as long as the otherswhen i put it on with the ring i dont get a perfect seal
 
The traxxas and OS LC3 plugs are about 1 thread longer than standard plugs. Why are you using an A5? That's too cool of a plug for the 2.5R or most small blocks. Unless your running 30% nitro. You would have a hard time getting a good tune with that cool of a plug.
 
I'm still kind of newb for this. I'm running revo 3.3but i got it back going now i think i was too rich the plug was soaking wet
 
MC59 would be a good choice for plugs in a 2.5 or 3.3 engine. It should seal up with the little copper ring, if it's not sealing, change out the ring, keep it tight, but be careful not to strip the button.
 
ya i went and bought the lc3 and went through too of them , my temps are barely getting up to the normal and there is plenty of smoke , now i have a hard time getting her too start , i would rather buy another truck and start over
