I have this "Auto Glower" too. It´s a really fine thing. But after only three or four starts, the glow plug doesn´t glow no more :( Now I don´t know, the "Auto Glower" is broken or could it be that it doesn´t work when the Accu gets to low in voltage. I press the glow button and the red LED lights up as usual, but the glow plug keeps cold (other plugs I tested, too) .... :(
Hello! I bought one and have problem! When I try to ignite the glow plug, ignitor ignites it shortly ( max 2 seconds and should be 10 ) and then blinks 2 times That's may be silly, but I'm using 4x turnigy LSD AA NIMH 2550 mah accumulators as a power suply.... Can someone help me please?
Looks really handy, i wonder how much battery it uses after you have used it a couple times on one charge. but its a really cool idea im seriously considering it for my savage 4.6.
I had one on my hyper 7 when I was racing them stick it on my starter box and press the button so much easy then pulling and sticking the stick in :) the good old days
It certainly works well when it's sat on the work bench. Have to wait and see what it's like when it's been on the car throughout a bashing outing and jumps etc!
Hi, could you foresee any melting wire issues with it resting on the cylinder head? Great videos btw, helped me out loads of times. Keep up the good work. Cheers
I don't think so. I imagine it's a wire that'll be resistant to high temperatures. You could always run the wire through a piece of fuel tubing first ? But you'd have to disconnect it at one of the ends to thread it through.
No I assume it's heat resistant, however what you could do, and I'd recommend this anyway for the purpose of protecting the wire if the buggy flips over, is thread the wire through some fuel tubing.
hey would you consider doing a updated nitro for beginners guide? im thinking of getting a nitro and (all the nitro videos are really old) to compare with my slash 4x4, maybe ill get a traxxas slayer
Possibly - Although my more recent videos cover first starts etc, they'll tell you all you need to know :) I could re-do the series but personally I think if you follow the first start videos, breaking in & tuning etc, these cover everything I'd put into the series anyway. I feel it'd be a bit unnecessarily , personally?
I plan on putting me on my nitro plane,any chance to reduce puttining my big ole paws in harms way is a good idea to me. Chopping my fingers up doesnt appeal to me. nope.
Hey, thanks for the video. Question for you or the viewers... I'm about to get a twin engine model airplane and, for the sake of safety, I'd like to keep the glow plug permanently energized during the flight.... Will this module do the job provided I have a large enough battery to keep it working? Thanks
Yes most likely as they don't consume much power. But this system is no longer available, and you'll be getting through glow plugs like nobody's business
basically its just a glow ignitor without plugging one? i thought it is a nitro starter without coming to the buggy. like start it without touching the car.
Hi JT12, I use a 7.4v Lipo to run my R.C gear, would I be able to add this unit to my spare channel or would I run a risk of burning the unit out? I see that the glow system voltage range is 4.0-6.8. Awesome video's by the way.
ive had 3 of the hobbyking remote glow drive units and all have failed. they are a great idea in theory but the electrics in them are junk!!!. all 3 had a small chip break off the circuit board. even tho I wrapped the unit up to prevent any vibration. one broke on first start up! funny I don't see them advertised anymore...
hi mate i was worried about buying one for my kyosho inferno for christmas but after seeing how easy it fires up the engine and how it is installed i am totally buying one and once again great videos also if anyone want to check out my channel and have a look at somr of my cars it would be very helpful to build my channel
JT12's R/C Videos hi mate glad u replyed i think your videos are great and for ages i have wanted to know wher in the uk you are as i wanted to meet you to have some fun with the car i have and cant tune it well and need some help
Is this the one you bought? m.banggood.com/RCEXL-Universal-On-Board-Glow-System-Methanol-Engine-Ignition-With-LED-indicator-p-1243147.html?rmmds=search
your videos are getting better and better, you'll be the next URC before you know it
Thank you :) More to come
He is way better then URC
Gonna order one of these for my O.S. Wankel Turbo build. Thanks alot man!
It's been discontinued for a while I dont think you'll be able to find it!
thats a neat little igniter! altho, im wondering how much heat the glow plug wire can sustain before it starts melting?
I ran my wire through some fuel tubing in the end to protect it from heat. Think it was a heat resistant cable anyway though!

Damn its 2022 now your video from 2016 and i have never seen that here in Denmark, im pissed now, haha, i want some for my cars, its brilliant.

Yeah Looking forward to seeing how this goes when the car is in use :D
Can I keep it on during the whole flight?
Can I set it to glow on when stick is lower than half throttle?
Another great video Josh!
Thanks! more coming
Not in to the nitro stuff but I'm sure this works great. Love ur vids so much better then the old vids 😂
It certainly works well when it's sat on the work bench. Have to wait and see what it's like when it's been on the car throughout a bashing outing and jumps etc!
A similar system for replacing pull start engine has a motor too

JT12's R/C Videos yeah i thought about that. Thanks for the reply. I've only been running nitro for 6 months or so but have caught the bug! Cheers.
I have one of these coming can't wait to fit it
Awesome! I still need to try mine out properly!
JT12's R/C Videos do you know if I can get a roto start for the Hong nor force 32 engine I can't seem to find one
I'm sure you can. Just measure the width of your pullstart and one way bearing and make sure you match it when buying a drill start
JT12's R/C Videos ok thanks for your help
JT12's R/C Videos
Very cool! Going to have to get one of these!
It's a fun little gadget!
maybe a silly question will that wire not melt on the engine?
No I assume it's heat resistant, however what you could do, and I'd recommend this anyway for the purpose of protecting the wire if the buggy flips over, is thread the wire through some fuel tubing.
have you ever been to formby? I think I've met you mate!!
Hi love your vids and have inspired me to get my own nitro vehicle
Awesome, have fun :D

Thanks JT..i will get 2..for my 1/10 & 1/8
Yes - they are well worth the small amount!
I plan on putting me on my nitro plane,any chance to reduce puttining my big ole paws in harms way is a good idea to me. Chopping my fingers up doesnt appeal to me. nope.
traxxas has had this for years now so its not new at all, anyways still cool. also its very easy to waterproof receiver boxes like that.
Yes, it wasn't so much what it does that caught my eye it was more the cheap price of £8! I know they've been around for a while :D
So how is this after years?
Can't find this brand an type would like to have one if possible I can find it

No it's just a glow starter, it doesn't start the engine.
You have to replace the pull starter with a motor
Hi JT12,
I use a 7.4v Lipo to run my R.C gear, would I be able to add this unit to my spare channel or would I run a risk of burning the unit out?
I see that the glow system voltage range is 4.0-6.8.
Awesome video's by the way.
I would expect 7.4v to run it fine I'm sure I've used a 2s LiPo to power my receiver with this before.
JT12's R/C Videos
Hi thanks for your reply much appreciated.
They should have these on all RTR cars!
why did you skip the connecting of the otherb ring wire into the engine?
what did you do from the receiver to the engine block?
I just removed one of the drill start mounting screws and slipped the earth wire between the backing plate and the engine block.
you could hook it to a 3-4 channel remote, and have the remote toggle it on right?
Yes correct, see 7:10, that's what I did :)
JT12's R/C Videos i haven't got that far yet haha, my internet is super slow, watching this is 144p and it still buffering
Wow :O You're buffering at 144p? Damnnnn I feel for you. Imagine how long it'd take me to Upload the video on your connection then!
Cool thanks
ive had 3 of the hobbyking remote glow drive units and all have failed.
they are a great idea in theory but the electrics in them are junk!!!.
all 3 had a small chip break off the circuit board. even tho I wrapped the unit up to prevent any vibration.
one broke on first start up!
funny I don't see them advertised anymore...
I have received this item the only thing I don't like about it is the lead going on to the glow plug it's a right pain
It can be a pain, but once it's on it's on
Careful with the red wire so tight at the engine, if this hasn't a high-temperature insulation like e.g. silicone there soon will be a short-circuit!
It is high temp insulation
I would hope it would be high temp as it must go into the head
good stuff.
please show how to instal 7.2v nigh battery ti run the receiver on nitro buggy 1/8 scale
thank u
Hi thanks for your comment :) What exactly are you wanting to do?
TheRCBiker
I want to use 7.2v nimh battery pack instead of 4AA so it lasts longer. I need to know how to connect to leads to jr connection.
Thanks
hi mate i was worried about buying one for my kyosho inferno for christmas but after seeing how easy it fires up the engine and how it is installed i am totally buying one and once again great videos also if anyone want to check out my channel and have a look at somr of my cars it would be very helpful to build my channel

JT12's R/C Videos hi mate glad u replyed i think your videos are great and for ages i have wanted to know wher in the uk you are as i wanted to meet you to have some fun with the car i have and cant tune it well and need some help
Can u get a drill start for a kyosho inferno neo 2.0 instead of pull start?
Here you go :)
ua-cam.com/video/5OWYxSyWSUg/v-deo.html
It's a good system!!
Must add a drill Start remote controlled and you can full start your engine with radio. 👍🏻
Nice idea!
If my memory is good, This system exists on LOSI RC cars.
Thanks and quick question were do I order one from
These aren't available anymore unfortunately
Where to buy ya?
Bet that drains the batteries quick
Can you use this for any size engine 21 to 32
Yes
@@TheRCBiker thank you for replying
Any link
does anyone have a link for this product looked for it but couldn't find that exact one if anyone has found i please post the link thanks
hobbyking.com/en_us/hobby-king-onboard-auto-glow-plug-driver.html
cool video I need to get one of those
Yeah it works!
Would this work for the Kyosho DKW 2.0 nitro rc car
Yes it would! It fits any Nitro
thats a badaass car man
I would fuel tube and zip tie the top of the engine block
Yes, good idea. I'm just waiting to see if I plan on leaving it there first before I make it waterproof/ more permanently wired :)
Does anyone know a good way to start a Nitro engine when its Winter?
Same way as in the summer, but just heat it up if you can using a hair dryer. It'll make it much easier
Or if you have a car, heat the engin up with exhaust fumes =) some ape way doing it but still works under 0 conditions.
wow man
❤🎉😮😊แอดพ์
Had one that burned within 15min of usage..
Not recommended..
Bought one one banggood that is working now for 2 years.
Dont buy one from hobbyking!
