McCoy mc-59s work great too, and if im not mistaken they are cheaper than the o.s. plugs

will the McCoy MC-55 work well too?? Tower is out of stock on the 59's

[FORD_DragRacer141]

Well i guess if they're out of stock, a lot of people like them so they must be pretty good

whats wrong with traxxas ones?

[Traxxastampede]

Traxxas ones are out of stock. I ended up getting Tower hobbies ones becasue they had the best price.

tower hobbies brand glow plugs just plain SUCK because i had my engine allitle too lean and it burned out the plug in just 3 seconds of full throttle and then now i use O.S. and i can let my engine run out of fuel at full throttle and the plug keeps on lighten up.i used one o.s, plug soo long that all the metal turned white because of running engine to lean to long.

Im going to break in the engine with tower hobbies glow/spark plugs...is that a bad idea?

NO WAY THUNDERBOLT ARE THE BEST GLOWPLUGS IN THE WORLD THEY HAVE LASTED ME FOREVER

well since it doesnt use spark plugs it might be kinda hard to recomend a good spark plug.DO NOT USE TOWER HOBBIES PLUGS AT ANY TIME, WHETHER IT IS FOR BREAK-IN OR NORMAL RUNNING. with the tower plugs your engine will run rough at idle and it will stall at about half throttle. the mccoy mc-59's are the best i have used. they are a little better than the traxxas plugs which are very good. if you cant find mc-59 plugs mc-9 plugs will work but you will be lacking some performance. the tower hobbies glow-plugs are very similar to O.S. #a3 plugs. they will both suck just as equal. use mccoy or traxxas glow plugs.O.S. #A5 plugs will work. the #A3s are just plain junk

If im breaking my engine in with the tower plugs, is it gonna affect the life of the engine? It shouldnt do that at all

[43CheeriosDodgefan]

well go for the tower hobbies plugs if you want your engine to shut off everytime you try to drive your n-pede over half throttle. i didnt say they would affect engine life. your engine will run very rough and wont have any of the performance that you would be used to using a better plug. the tower plug isnt a bad plug it just dont work in the pro-15. they work great in my kyosho baja beetle which has a smaller engine
