That sounds a little high for 3 plugs.. what brand do you use?

I suggest getting the O.S. #8 plug.. and you can get them anywhere usually.
I usually buy them either 3 or 6 at a time from Tower or Ultimate.
 
It's not the best deal, by I personally just get them at my LHS. I can probably get them on eBay cheaper, but usually I hate waiting, mainly because when I do buy glow plugs, it's because I'm out. :P

yeah, I ended up going to get some today also.. I fried the last on yesterday and couldn't wait.
Paid 6 buck a piece so ebay wasn't much cheaper...

For two bucks, support the LHS!!

You should be getting them for less than 5 online.. on ebay.. less than $4 I would guess.
What brand/type do you use?
 
I've only had it 2 days.. I bought about 5 traxxas plugs so I will have some extra.Now that I have backups I might try a few different brands..
 
Relative question from a Revo newbie.

Are the O.S #8 plugs a suitable replacement plug over the traxxas originals for use in a TRX 2.5 engine ?? the one that is currently fitted is a "Long Reach" plug, i.e longer on the threads than an O.S #8 plug, hence my question.
 
i just picked up a 10 pack of the 3232x traxxas plugs for like $42 including shipping off ebay.
 
i usually just go down to my LHS and get them....10 for like $50 i think..thats canadian dollars....plus whenever i order them offline they always seem to end up with the filiment broken..
