what traxxas plugs are you using?

My Feedback: (2)

The pro .15 has alot of heat issues. Even Traxxas will admit to that. You are probably frying your glow plugs with the tune.
I'd check everything for leaks, seal it up, then re-tune. Glow plugs should never go out that often.

i've had the same glow plug in my 3.3 since fall of last year. I run 3232's

thanks for the info
i have noticed the darn thing always seems hot have read a least ten tuning guides not sure i still got it right
the thing seems to take off right run through a whole tank and doesn sound weird but i will be the first to tell you im a novice when it comes to nitro

moe in wichita ks i have a t-maxx 3.3 i burned up 3-4 plugs in less than 1 gal of fuel. i switched to 30% and richened it up with a #3 plug , planing on going to a #8. with the hot plug dont be afraid to go rich. years ago when my dad and i drag raced the 1/4 mile, 392 hemis, 440s, my dad would say "its better to foul out a plug cause its cold or rich than burn a hole in a piston cause you have to hot of plug" it seems to me on a 3.3 it takes a LOT of run time before you see any color in the plug, so go more by heat of engine and how it runs.

rcslsafut,
I have the same exact problem that you have. I don't know why but every couple of tanks I'm fowling out a plug and it really pisses me off when they get fowled cause I can't run till I get a new one and there kinda expensive. I have a new 3.3 with probably 3/4 of a gallon throgb it. Anybody have some advice??

I had very bad luck with the Traxxas plugs.  I swiched to a McCoy MC-59 and will never go back to the stock plugs.  They just didn't last.</p>

i got a mccoy mc-59 couldnt take off the glow plug charger or the engine would die . but im not knock them i know a lot of poeple have good luck with them think i just got a bad one right out the box . called the lhs they said they would gladly replace it but they are 35 miles away not going that far for just a glow plug . thanks for the input !!!!!!
