What are the best Glow Pugs to use with ez start? I have the OS .18tm motor.

Also I have been going though glow plugs like crazy, everytime i take a jump and wipe it and the motor kills it kills the glow plug, ever seen that before?

I was using the LC3 plugs.

Thanks,

Kooner

They are Hot plugs. Just sucks when you go thur 4 glow plugs in 2 tanks of gas, lol.

I would switch to a different brand of plug. I don't know what plug the OS motors like, but I have pretty good luck with the McCoy mc59. I've got about a gallon through my 3.3 motor and only changed the plug once, that was right after break in...and probably didn't need to be changed then either. My Sirio .18 motor had 3 gallons through it and changed the glow plug maybe after each gallon. I've never heard of a plug going bad from a crash.

I have heard alot about those plugs, McCoy mc59, they work with the ez start system? If so i think i will give those a try, thanks.

The blue lead may be a pain to get off and on, the traxxas plugs are designed with a point in the middle...I guess that's for the ez start wire to go on easier. I pulled my ez start off and use a regular glow ignitor with pull start. I'm pretty sure you can get the blue lead on there fine, just getting it off without destroying it might be difficult.

the LC3's are a long reach plug which means that the lead for the glow ignitor is pointed and longer to accomadate the EZ start plug wire.....I've burnt out so many of them I have switched to the OS hot plug and all has been fine so far....I removed the EZstart wire and use a conventional glow ignitor with the EZ start...its a bit of a pain but I have a few vehicles already that require the hand held ignitor anyways so no big deal to me....

I have found that when you have a battery in the EZ start that is not fully charged you can still get the truck started when you use a fully charged glow ignitor.......the glow ignitor wire on the EZ start when you are using a battery that is not fully charged doesn't heat up the plug enough due to the lower voltage from the battery so you have a hard time starting the truck and more times than not it won't start.....just another reason i use a handheld ignitor with the EZ start...

What OS plug do you recommend
