I Just purchased a EXCEED-RC FORZA buggy for my son. I am new at this and I was reading in the book that I need to have some extra glow plugs on hand so I need to know which one to by the book says during the break in time that I need to get a short cold plug? Also is that the type of plug that I need to run in it all the time? It has a 18CXP engine on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Ben

OS A3 should work fine for you. Most of your local hobby shops should have them.

The Break-in Sheet said to get a short cold plug and the OS A3 on the site that you refered me to says its a OS A3 HOT PLUG. Is that still ok.
Thanks
Ben

i used the plug that came with my exceed 1/10 forza. then after about a week i put a new one in. how old is your son? these buggies can reach an almost insane speed so don't use it on a road with curbs. i suggest an open area until he gets used to it. again..........they are very fast and expensive to fix.lol
