d) Screw in Glow Plug
If the glow plug is enclosed separately, it must be screwed into the opening of the cylinder head with a suitable glow
plug key. Do not use any force for this.
Glow plugs wear, especially during the breaking-in stage. If tinder has formed on the glow coil, there may be
problems with starting or operation.
Therefore, we recommend that you always keep some glow plugs at hand for replacement. There are glow
plugs with different heat values (e.g. "cold" or "hot" glow plugs).
Use glow plugs for RC cars only! The wrong glow plug, e.g. for a 4-cycle plane engine, will cause the engine
to run incorrectly and impairs reconciliation.
Generally, the following rule applies: The higher the nitromethane share in the fuel, the "colder" the glow
plug should be. This also applies the higher the ambience temperature when driving.
A "hot" plug must be used at low nitromethane ratios (e.g. for breaking in the motor) or low outdoor tempera-
tures.
