      Glow plugs

      RC glow plugs in every heat range: Turbo, Standard, Cold, Medium and Hot.

      RC glow plugs ignite the fuel in a nitro engine, and the heat range you choose affects how the engine starts, idles and runs. We stock plugs from Turbo through Standard, Cold, Medium and Hot, so you can match the plug to your engine and fuel.A worn plug makes starting difficult, so keep spares on hand.

      Frequent Questions & Answers
      What does a glow plug do?

      The glow plug ignites the fuel in a nitro engine. A glow igniter heats it to start the engine, then the engine’s own heat keeps it firing.

      How do I choose the right glow plug heat range?

      Match it to your engine, fuel and the weather. A hotter plug helps starting and cold running, a colder plug suits high-nitro fuel and hot conditions.

      What is a turbo glow plug?

      A turbo plug has a tapered seat that seals better and improves combustion in engines designed for it. Use a turbo plug only in a turbo-head engine.

      How often should I replace a glow plug?

      The plug wears with every run, so change it when the engine gets hard to start or idles poorly. Keeping spares is cheap insurance.
