Alright, it seems that the new 2.5 with the EZ start system wasn't designed in the best possible way. And each time you take the glow plug out it is a pain in the ass, to get back on, and once you do it still doesn't seem it is on there that well...

But below I found a pic on Ebay of a guy who has a "heavy" duty one...I have been searching around the net, but havn't come up with anything yet. If you know where I can get one pleae tell me~

daaaaaan....I have removed the blue wire that goes to the glow plug and now use a glow igniter on the glow plug on the TMaxx. Since the wire seemed to be a weak link...I just removed it.

That is a Sullivan glow igniter used for airplanes. Just ask your LHS for a Sullivan remote glow igniter and you are set.

I bought one from a LHS last night.... the guy told me that it replaces the BLUE wire. He "SAID" that the traxxas glow plugs were running hot (#3231 I think). Told me that they are recommending the OS#8 Plugs and this red wire would fit it.

I haven't put it on yet but I think it stays on all the time and if you want to heat it, you have to press down on it which makes the connection and then heats the plug?

Keep in mind, this is just the way it seems to work. I will probably put mine on today. I paid $10 for mine and I thought that was a little HIGH ???

Good Luck
(I agree, even though there is not much too it... I don't care to use the Glow Plug Ignitors.... but if thats what it takes to start my truck, guess what I'm using
