RC Driving Style
yesterday I while I was bashin' with KoRnKiD, My glo plug blew out under normal Driving conditions.. I was just wondering if this will hurt anything..
oh and I replaced the plug with a new one and my engine runs fine..:cheers:
 
All fine.

Glo Plugs can last 5 seconds, 5 days or even 5 years. Its all a gamble with plugs.

Some are better than others, yes. But even the best of them can blow on a single tank.

I mean Physically Blew out of the engine and landed about two feet away
just wondering of it will hurt anything.. should've explained it better by the way the first gloplug was fine but I didn't trust it... :madface:
 
Are the threads on your head still there? If they are you should consider yourself extremely lucky. If the threads are not there them you might be able to use a helicoil and re-thread your head if you can't use a helicoil you'll need a new head, $$$.
 
thay are still there I think I worked it loose with my Glo ignitor and it rattled its self to the point it woudnt hold on..=devil

You didnt leave your glo ignitor on while you were driving did you?

Always make sure that baby is snug (your glo plug) or like El said, you may loose your head! And I'm not talking about the one on your maxx......

some times when I havent ran it for like 2 weeks I'll leave it on for maybe 10 sec while it's still warming up.. cause if I just let it Idle it usually loads up and dies because it hasn't leaned it's self out yet...
what I meant about the glo ignitor is I was using KoRnKiD's for awhile and it's a hotshot 2 so you have to push down and twist but I kept forgetting to push down first... :madface:
