no it might be for a tmaxx 2.5 or nitro stampede, im getting a new truck, cause the tmaxx is more expensive to fix

what fuel are you running?
it will be 20% but i need a new brand

why do you run your truck so cool
than is the temp outside

I get away with the Mc-59 in the 3.3's/2.5's with 20% nitro and Mc-8 with anything above 20% or it will blow the plug out too fast.

I use OS A5's in my OS18TM Revo. I have tried several other plugs, and the truck really seems to enjoy the A5's. This is running with 20 percent Nitro(currently what is left of a gallon of Top Fuel).
