The manual says an R5 glow plug, which is cold. I thought an A5 (medium cold) would be better. Does anyone use the A5? if so how does ur mt2 perform? Also what brand glow plug do u use?

COLD????? FOR A SMALL BLOCK? NEVER!1!!!!!11!1!111!!
you use cold in big block engines...
for the t-15 id recommend the O.S a5 or the O.S standard #8 long med-hot
if u run a cold plug in the t-15 u will not get very nice performance
belive me i tried it
when i first started nitro r/c i thought that a colder plug kept the engine colder..WRONG!
for example.. if you ask 46u soon..ill bet he runs a either med-hot to a hot glow plug in his tz
for a .12..what do you think you would use based on the psage abov. use example and details from the passage! LOL(FCAT questions)

they give me higher ground clearance but its at a higher center of gravity and in a hard turn it will flip like a monster truck. but so far grass, street, dirt havent tried mud but i think so far its a great A/T tire. ill post pics
those arent masher tires, those are moab tires
... they look sweet tho wat did they cost you, around 30 or 40 bucks???

all depend on how u land. example if u jump a 2foot ramp and land on only one of the front wheels is gonna cartwheel most likely screwing something its not guaranteed that ul break something but has happened. another example u can hit the curb wrong and probably screw something up i know i have my mt2 fishtailed on some gravel and the rear of the truck hit the curb at an angle hard and i broke a rear hub
