Status: offline 		Has anyone had a problem with the turmoil pro cooling head? I went to run my car and noticed that last time I put after run oil in I didnt tighten the plug down all the way. So I tightened it up and after a few runs I saw a couple of drops of liquid around the plug. I thought it was nothing to worry about until I went to check the temp again and I saw bubbling at the base of the plug. I turned it off backed out the plug and tried to put it back in but it seems like its going in on an angle. I changed the plug but might glow igniter died so I have to wait to see if just the plug may be bent. Anyway anyone heard of anything like this before.

Status: offline 		I had this happen once. It turned out to be the brass washer on my glow plug. It wasnt the same thickness all around causing a bad seal. The plug wasnt that old so I think it was deffective out of the package. I replaced the washer from an old plug and problem solved. If your plug is going in at an angle you may have cross threaded the plug... just a thought.

I agree with TCLBR. Your brass washer was probably not seated properly, or may even be bad (cracked/fractured). In any event, please the brass washer to eliminate the possibility. Secondly, cross threading is when you screw something in at an angle and the threads are not lining up properly. A crossed threaded screw, glow plug, etc. could eventually become striped if left or forced in....

Status: offline 		Hey

Just getting back into RC after being out of it for a few years. I have been looking at buggies for a while and could not resist the price A-Main hobbies had on the Turmoil Pro ARR. Here are a few shots of the buggy. Have broken in the engine and tuned it on pavement so far. Waiting for the rain to stop to get on the track. Mainly stock except for the J-concepts wing, rims, and tires.

Thanks

Aaron

Status: offline 		Hey all, I had my turmoil out this past weekend and was just practicing on the track and the thing is quickly becoming the RC I drive most.... I like it that much! I have a concern and that is that my rear diff was absolutely hot as H#!! when pulling in to refuel..... is this normal? the front wasnt so hot and the center you really cant tell because the engine is right there but the rear was just as hot maybe hotter than the center felt!! I just dont want keep running it like this if something is wrong. the buggy ran great, no wierd noises coming from there, pulled awesome in the loose stuff and out of turns it just that it was sooo hot. any help is appreciated thanks guys.
