glow plug question
will the mccoy mc-59 glow plug work in the 3.3? im helping my friend break in his new revo and it is blowing through the plugs in about 2 minutes. i know running it really rich burns them up, but ive never gone through that many plugs that fast. he burnt the first one after about 3 tanks, so i gave him one of my lc3 plugs. it lasted about a tank then went. so today i gave him another and it lasted for about a minute. he is running the traxxas top fuel, think that would make them foul that fast with its higher oil content? any suggestions are welcome.

RE: glow plug question
get rid of the traxxas fuel its crap, you can use it for cleaning parts or starting a bond fire, lol try trinity monster fuel 20% or byrons anything but traxxas, maybe good for breakin but thats it. If it is cold where your at your probly to rich, mccoy 59 plugs r really good,i use then and some r so old i can not evan remember when i put them in , its all in the tuning

RE: glow plug question
well he is running the breakin tanks on the stock pig rich settings. i expected to lose at lease 1 or 2 plugs, not 4. he got the traxxas fuel cause that is all our lhs has. i run odonnells. but i get my fuel from a town 3 hours away lol. the reason i asked about the mc-59 plug cause i have found better deals on them. i run a os .21tm and wont use anything but the lc3 plug.

RE: glow plug question
ive just always used the lc3 plugs in it and never have had a problem and they would last forever in it. we did narrow it down to the fuel that was causing the problem. put some of my fuel in it(odonnells) and it didnt burn one plug. but i am going to try out the mc-59 plug just because i found such a good deal on them. 12 plugs for 49.99 and we split the price. if i dont like them ill try the os #8 plug. has anybody ever notice a power difference in the brand of plug?
