Glow plug burn out
 
.28 engine, No matter where I set the main needle I can not go through a full tank of fuel without burning out a glow plug. I have tried several diffent plugs with no help. I have set so rich that the car barely runs. I have resealed the rear case also. Any ideas out there?

lean it a little, your fouling the plug if its too rich.

They are burning out not fouling out.

Thanks

what kind of plugs are you using, you should use a good name like os or novarossi

could anyone tell me a good but inexpensive set of rims and tires that would fit on the tsunami?

rustler 2.2 rear rims, any that would fit it, check ebay for rustler rims or towerhobbies. then you can get any tire that fits a 2.2 rim. i have heard that hpi mt and mt2 rims are 12mm hex also, i dont know for sure, i have an mt and should check.

to the original thread starter You are burining out the plugs because you are running too rich. Lean out the misture more. What %nitro are you using and with what type plug? Your plug could also be too cold as well.

yes but I dont think he new thet you can burn out plugs from running rich just as fast as is its too lean. Just trying to back you up!
