Just ruined the thread on the button for the glowplug, and need to source a new one (UK) and i just wondered are the hpi engines made by force? like the force .26 the F4.1 etc, as i cant find a specific button for my engine

Thanks

Not sure, but although the Force 26 uses the same con-rod as the Nitro-star 25, the piston and cylinder are different sizes. So, I guess there are common pieces, but being completely identical? Only someone with both can say for sure.

If your LHS stocks Force parts, why not take your old head-button with you and a pair of calipers (a micrometer would be better) and find out at the store?

If you need it for the weekend, you can use a heli-coil kit (thread repair insert kit)t. The cost of the kit is probably more than a new head button, but should be locally available. Hardware stores usually carry these kits (although generally under a different brand name) and automotive parts stores should definately have them. Don't worry about the threads sealing, the copper glowplug washer does that for you.

the HPI http://www.hpiracing.com/optionparts/stat-s25.htm Nitro Star S-25's button head will fit the Force .26


I'm pretty sure other ones will fit, like the Mach .26, XTM....etc
