> Nitro Fuel Engine Essentials > Glow Starts (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 essensial 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.

more	Dynamite Glow Heater with Meter & Charger (DYN1925) Quality Glow Heater with Charger and meter. The sure lock version is the style usually adopted by the more experienced modeller as no twist is required, just pull up on the contoured finger clip as it meets the plug and release to engage. A red anodised aluminium casing replaces the plastic version and can be unscrewed if the cell ever needs replacing. Both come with a rubber end cover to stop debris or tools entering the business end while not in use. They are available with a fully approved UK 240 volt mains charger, or for the more experienced modeller as a separate item to be used with a field charger. Either item is ideal for use with nitro cars, boats and planes or anything else you care to fit a nitro engine into! A rechargeable sub-c long life Ni-Cd battery is included and is pre-fitted into the body along with a top mounted battery power-meter to show when your glow start is getting low on voltage. The locking type glow stick pushes onto the glow plug and is then locked into place with a twist. The built in long-life Ni-Cd battery and power meter are enclosed in a tough moulded red housing, protecting them from the general rigours of the average tool box.
