Thanks for the vid. It get really old when people try and tell me that LC4 plugs are the same as OS8. 🤦🏻♂️ some people just don’t want to know the truth.
I’ve argued with a buddy about nitro engines. He swore up and down that nitros are basically diesel engines, and he’s a mechanic! I told him how nitro glow plugs operate differently to 7.3 powerstroke glow plugs and he refused to accept that. Some people “know so much” that they don’t bother to ask questions lol. Once again great video
Dude! 💯 I have argued that on and off for years! And for whatever reason people just don't want to believe it. I think it's more so they think it's like a Detroit 2 stroke and they want to believe it's a Diesel and they are completely different. Not even close! Other than that fact that they both fire each stroke.
@@thebug4046Nitro rc engines are foreign to a lot of people so I can forgive them for not understanding how they work. Relating them to diesels is probably their way of trying to understand them. But arguing from a position of ignorance and not accepting new information is a bad way to go about it imo.
The turbo plug has a conical seat . the taper is the seal .It seats in a tapered seat under the threads in the head. The tapered seat eliminates the need for a copper washer!
Thanks man! And yeah unfortunately there's a lot of people what put out bullshit information then when you ask for help they never answer you back. Or just tell you to go electric 🙄 🤣
great video bud . maybe make a video showing what plugs will work in the pro 15 the 2.5 and the 3.3 ? think that would be a great video just a suggestion
Love the videos love the recommendations and helpful tips. What is a fantastic motor that I can get inside of a T-Maxx 3.3? I do not want to buy no more junk TRX motors. Thanks
Hey thanks for watching I appreciate it there's 2 different choices currently that are a direct drop and fit. Dynamite 19 or OS 21TM will both do ya! 💯🍻
As usual, you are right on the money! These companies pay their engineers to figure all this shit out for you. Engineers went to school for these things and they do a good job for the most part. If your not a qualified engineer or highly trained technician why screw with it? Unless, of course, you have more money than sense. Lol.
From a mechanics pov engineers are great most of the time but on many occasions the way they design shit drives a mechanic crazy . I've spend many hours cussing at engineers lmao
Great video. That 2nd one from the right looks like a strap on a regular plug. Do you have any recent videos of a Diesel engine running? Like on a bench with your little setup?
Great video but can u shed some light on the osg5 gasoline glow plug whereby you convert nitro to gasoline using only the osg5 glow plug. Also is it possible to to convert a diesel engine to nitro or gasoline by removing the contra piston and tapping the thread for a glow plug
Don't even waste your time or money it will destroy your entire fuel system have terrible performance rather super hot and be impossible for tuning. there is a reason why its design for specific airplane motors that were designed for it
Are Traxxas engines the only ones that use the long reach plugs? I have a 15FE and I've been using the OS #8 but want to be sure that it's the correct plug for it. Also, does the T15 use the same plug as the 15FE?
Thank you for making videos trying to bring back common sense. There are too many people out there in the world today that think they are experts on everything yet don't know shit about anything they just want to sound intelligent and like they know what they're talking about like you said in this video, do you really think you know better than the engineers that the manufactures paid thousands and thousands of dollars to design these things do you really think you know better than they do on their own engine? No, you do not.
It really blows my mind about how stupid and ignorant people are when it comes to things like that. like you just finish saying the manufacturers of these things and design teams spend weeks months if not years designing and perfecting the best performance possible for the application and the parts to achieve said performance and reliability why would you change that and think something else is better when in fact it is not. that's why the manufacturer recommends a certain part! I was Mechanic for 50 years! That doesn't mean you know what you're talking about!! 🤣🤣 The amount of myths that people have come up with and nonsense about how exotic things are really blows my mind.
@@lukesylvester2022 no one makes them anymore other than cox. They are often quite expensive or you will have to take a gamble on a used one Also you cannot use regular pump diesel you have to make your own fuel and depending on where you live you might not be able to do that if you cannot get ether that is pure enough. you will also need kerosene and racing castor oil As well as Ignition improver. To change the Ctane numbers to make it start easier and use less compression. Also they don't handle the same as a glow engine you have to start from scratch every time you want to start one.
@@thebug4046 Thank you for that info. It just seems nice not having to use electronics to get it going. But its very inconvenient, and much more practical to use glow engines it seems.
@@lukesylvester2022 It was never really a thing that took off in North America. it was more or less in Europe. Mind you these engines haven't been made for almost 30 years when you could get all these ingredients very easily. It was much cheaper to fly and still is if you can make your own fuel. No nitro no glow plugs no batterys. Add fuel flip adjut and fly until you run out of fuel or get sick of it lol
Lol fuck no they are not all the same. A hot and a cold are very different. You don't want that piston touching the bottom of that plug either they are different lengths as well for a reason lol
every time you cursed the phone I freaking died
Your welcome 🤣

No worries man I get a lot of that people don't want to hear the ugly truth that what they've been doing for a long time is incorrect lol
Man i dig your no bull shit attitude. Ive been watching some of you post lost of useful info on here.
Thanks for watchin! I don't have time to BS about stuff like 90% of other channels that get you to watch and tell you absolutely nothing haha
@thebug4046 That's what brought me to your channel. I'm fairly new to the nitro thing, and I have learned lots of useful things on your channel.

FYI. Turbine engines use glowplugs too. My JDE 54 engine uses a regular OS LC3, but with the element teased out to ignite the propane easier.
That's awesome

I have a handful explaining that. OS LC3 OR LC4 in all Traxxas engines

Yeah I have one that's kind of down farther in the videos if you look for it.
What are the best glow plugs to use for the Traxxas 3.3?
Os lc3 or os lc4

There is a lot of engines that use standard long range plugs the HPI 15FE engine will use an OS7
So what causes them to burn up or burn off the precious metals it's coated in
Running to lean they get to hot and burn out. Or rod stretch and or warn out rod or bad bearings

I have a gx-21 keyosho what glow plug should I run please an thanks
I will get Back to you on that as im in the hospital at the moment. I believe it's a OS 8
@@thebug4046 thanks I look at. Your other videos an u said run a lc4 os plug ❓ an get well my friend thank for the help 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Couldn't you run the diesel without adjusting the compression?
Nope.
@@thebug4046 I think i needa buy one and study how it operates. This stuff interests me.
