I'm new to the whole R/C world and have a question about glow plugs. I was wondering if anyone knows a alternative glow plug for the mccoy-59. My hobbytown wants $7.00 for them and I thought was kinda steep! I have a Associated MGT 4.6 SE. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if it's an exact match, but in places where I'd consider an MC-59, I would use an OS #8 instead.

Says here you have a Thunder Tiger .28 engine

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=MCCMC59 shows $7 to be typical price for MC 59 plugs.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCB27&P=ML plugs are not a whole lot cheaper but should work IMO.

People who race boats go through more plugs than sport fliers, so we won't tolerate being overcharged. You can get McCoy MC-59s for $3.50 from: http://rocketcityracing.com/product_...23&item_id=994 . The last time I bought plugs, about 10 dozen McCoy MC-9 and a couple dozen MC-59s, I paid about $2 each.
