there both need a glow plug is something that helps start the engine a glow starter is something you put on the plug to heat so you can start the engine, a glow plug normally last 2-4 gallons of fuel so you should buy more plugs you only need 1 starter with a charger

the glow plug is partof the engine.

The glow starter it what you attach to the glow plug - the glow starter / warmer will be in ur starter kit. and the glow plug will come with ur engine

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCB27&P=ML]This[/link] is a glow plug.. (usually comes installed in engine)

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSF52&P=ML]This[/link] is a glow starter (usually uou have to purchase this seperate)

Both the Glow plug and glow starter (also known as glow driver) are needed to start your r/c car.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

a glow plug is just a lot like a sparkplug only it needs an external power source (glow igniter) to ignite it that is taken off once the engine is running.

i know its different, but it does the same thing as a spark plug, only it always stays lit instead of "sparking"
