What glow plug temp should I get?

[Lmao45]

Okay, I've Pretty much completed my break-in process, and haven't had a glow plug fail at all, I've heard they foul out like crazy during break-in, but I haven't had one go yet, is this good or bad?

Also, what heat level Glow plugs should I use? I was going to buy a few more extras online, but they have "Cool", "Hot," "extra hot" and "Super hot." I'm just confused.... Help?

No harm, no foul! lol It's alright if you don't burn up any plugs during break in. I've had some motors use 1 for each step of break in and others hardly burn 1 for the first gallon. As for the type of plug to use, I've always used the recommended for the motor. There should be a recommendation in the instructions.

Thanks! Instructions that came with the car had nothing about glow plugs, it was mostly just warnings! I have a .18CXP engine from exceed.

OS A3 (#6) i believe is what is recommended in the 18CXP. I like O'donnell plugs better myself though. Depending on what fuel % you are running...id probably use a O'donnell purple

It also depends on your %nitro content in your fuel.

okay, well I'm running standard(?) 20%

With 20% and a small block you generally run a hot plug. As mentioned the OS A3 should work fine for you.

Score 1 for my LHS, 'cause that's exactly what they recommended to me, for the same type setup, when I came in looking for plugs.
