> Nitro Fuel Engine Essentials > Glow Plugs (Ex-Catalog)

Most fuel powered radio controlled cars, aircraft and boats are powered by glow fuel, which is ignited in the engine by a glow plug. These are similar to a spark plug, but due to the compression style of combustion in the engine, they are only utilized in starting the engine. Glow plugs usually require a 1.5-2volt supply to light them, and so most people would use a rechargeable glo start to power them. These glow supplies are manufactured in varying capacities, giving you more or less starts between charges. The higher the Mah of the glow start, the greater the number of firings you can expect from it before it needs to be recharged. All glow plugs come with a standard thread fitting to the engine, and also a standard sized hexagon head for removal. A glow plug spanner is essential for fast removal of plugs when the need comes to replace them. For more information on starting IC engines refer to our Hints & Tips page.

For general use O.S. or Enya glow plugs tend to be the norm, being a one-plug-suits-all solution, whereas for the competitive minded racer, or flyer ModelTechnics offer a range of temperature variable plugs, being best suited to engines dependent on capacity, stroke and even weather conditions. Traxxas offer their own range of glow plugs to suit their own vehicles.

So, whatever level you operate your nitro powered model at, we've got the glow plug to suit you.
