Hi,

In this thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_12...page_59/tm.htm we are playing with converted gas engines running glow plugs. I have a twin set up this way, and I have a question about the hookup for the glow plugs.

I have my twin glow plugs hooked up in parallel to my glow driver panel. I notice that unless my 12 volt field box battery is well up in charge, it won't light the two glow plugs well.

Just now I was surfing the web, and I came across this site: http://electrodynam.com/rc/EDR-103/schematics.html

It shows two glow plugs hooked up in series, but with two batteries also hooked up in series. What are the pros and cons of the two connections?? Should I be hooked up in series to my glow driver panel? Wouldn't the plugs require 3 volts, but less amps hooked up in series and therefore not work with the glow driver panel?

If one runs an onboard battery and two glow plugs, which circuitry would be best and why???? (Assuming you are going to run a switched circuit and not the driver shown on the website.)

Thanks,
