Default Glow Plug 4 Race

I am going to began racing offroad 1/10th scale gas truck w/ .15 motor. I have everything but need to go get some good glow plugs that I know will last. I was thinking either os A3 or O.S. A5.
What does everyone else use?

I run an os#8 in my .12',.15's and an 0S R5 in my .21's.
Nitro % also will determine you plugs heat range..... more nitro = cooler plug.... less nitro = hotter plug
check here for glow plug info.

I am currently using mc59 for racing. I change plugs at the beginning of qualifying and another new one before the main. I have not had a flame out due to bad plug.
