RE: which glowplug for rb323
NO
The 323 comes with a RB plug and I would highly recommend staying with RB plugs....not sure if it's the #6 or #5 but get a few sent to you and you will be set, they last a long time.
Also, get some 20% O'Donnel fuel, trust me on this. Looks like this is your first RB if I can assume so, break-in is tedious, get a heat gun or hair dryer...heat gun preferably to warm up the case before starting.

RE: which glowplug for rb323
it is already broken in, so just need to run it, but i am guessing you are gunna say dont use blue thunder sport 20%?
does anyone know where i can order 20% odonnel race fuel online in the UK? i can only find 20% rtr (crap) or 25% race
if i was to run the 25% would i have to change plug or shim or anything?
Thanks

RE: which glowplug for rb323
found a place to get 16% but cant see 20% or 25%
theres one that says monster truck fuel but nothing about percentage, you know anything about that?
and what about the more expensive concept revolution fuel?
Thanks

I know nothing of the concept fuel as we across the pond are not able to get it. There are good fuels around, but I know O'Donnel is some really, really great fuel....any of the race 20-30% will work, you will be more than happy on 20%.
Search around, someone will have it.

RB being in France should be able to get you some plugs if you cannot find them. I'll send you some if you cannot get them shipped from a store/supplier.

Yes that will work...it's a #6 plug with the tip being smaller to accept the EZ-Start wire. Standard #6 is the 1055-6 but without being able to accept the EZ-Start wire but a normal plug lighter. You may find that a regular rechargeable not a "C" powered ignitor will likely work the best if the EZ start won't light the plugs enough....should though.

Sure it will, but like I was pointing out...stay away from the "C" powered ignitors that are regular alkaline batts, use rechargeables. The EZ start is on a rechargeable batt, just that I know these motors like a good hot plug to start so a rechargeable is a must.

RE: which glowplug for rb323
I have both the rb 323 and the 523, and although i agree about O'donnells being a great fuel, Another great fuel i have had good luck with is Trinity Monster hp 20%.
No one around here sells O'donnells and i've always had great lick with trinity.
Just stay away from blue crapper, and traxxas trxcraponaor fuel.
