Hey guys. I'm new to nitro and I'm having glow plug issues. I burnt one out yesterday just driving up and down my street. I bought a new one put it in ran it for 5 or 10 minutes and blew a brand new one. I really dont know what's happening. If any one has any info, please let me know. Thanks
 
Your either running too lean and/or you may have an air leak. Try richening the high speed needle a little and check your temps. Get them down around 230-240. Running lean gets better performance but does damage by running too hot and causing issues like burnt up glow plugs and broken rod on the 3.3

High speed running is torture on a nitro engine. If your gonna do it, run her rich.
