Blogbo Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I have just got this car' Second hand. Hyper 7 TQ - Mac Star 28' But it's Not starting! I have put in a new steering servo and head gaskets. Probably need to replace the glow plug' factory suggests, Mc Coy-Mc9 (or) RB #6 ... But I can't seem to find these for sale. Does anyone know what the alternative is for this engine? Many Thanks Blogbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) we used to use OS8 glow plugs in our engines from 15 through to 50 sizes Edited October 28, 2022 by Stormbringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blogbo Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sorry' I have no idea what you're talking about? 15 through to 50 sizes is a lot to figure out. I know nothing about Nitro Engines .. Its my first one Just need a glow plug that will fit the Mach 28 engine that's available to buy today!

Blogbo Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just looked .. The OS8 has a brass Washer .. the one that's in my Engine is T4 with No washer! I Can't seem to find a T4 for sale ether. Still looking for alternatives Many thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 maybe yours is a turbo head so needs a shorter glow plug then not sure as its long time since ive done nitro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Check you glow plug first by taking it out and placing it in the glow starter which has fresh batteries or fully recharged. If it is has no washer then its called a turbo plug, https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/fastrax-platinum-turbo-glow-plug-no-8-medium-381411 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blogbo Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Hi .. Yes' I think it is a turbo! on the box it says it has a Turbo Head Button (whatever that is) Just ordered that glow plug and a glow plug heater. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I get on 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
