Default cant decide which glow plug...

should i get the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRA06&P=ML]MC-59[/link] for my 3.3 or the traxxas heavy duty [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJL33&P=ML]glow plug[/link]? ive been using MC-59 for the whole time and was just wondering if the traxxas one performs the same so i can get the cheaper one.

You can use the 3232 or 3232X glow plug for that fuel. The Mccoy MC8 or 9 work ok as well. Use a colder plug if you use higher nitro fuel, like 33%. Medium heat plugs work well for 20%.

I run Top Fuel 33%, and I bought a couple McCoy MC9 plugs. I hear great things about how long they last, and they are supposed to be great with higher nitro content fuel. I am trying to break my motor in with the stock plug, but as soon as I'm done the MC9 is going in. I bought a pack of two on ebay for 7 bucks.

To decide which glow plug to use i would just try both of them. They are relatively cheap if you buy only a few.
