Tower glow plug
Has anyone ever tried the Tower Hobbies glow plug? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXJA89&P=ML
Does it last long? Is it any good?

RE: Tower glow plug
Did you read the part about for .15 and smaller engines? More then likely it will not be the right heat range for a big block! Most small blocks run hotter plugs then the big blocks.

I've used them in a .28 and they're decent. I got about 2 gallons out of one. They are a medium heat plug. They can be used in smaller engines is what it says, not that arer meat for .15 and smaller.

The Tower Hobbies glow plug works great in my SH 28. The glow plugs appear to be identical to the OS A3 plug, but $1 cheaper -- same type of packaging, same coil diameter/turns, and made in Japan.

I use them in a lot of my plane engines. I also use it 'em in my TRX .15 PRO engine that's in the RC10GT. I get a whole summer out of them. Can't tell you how much more they'd last since they get changed during the winter tear-down.

if u would read what it says before then you would know you are wrong.it says "Works on All 2-Stroke Engines, even .15 and smaller because it does not have the idle bar that would normally hit the top of the piston" i use these plugs and they work very well for me.

If you take time to read the WHOLE thread you will see I said I stand corrected! [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
