O.S. has now introduced new Glow Plugs that are more suited to rigors of R/C Car Racing. Note that O.S. engine plugs are
SHORT body plugs and should only be used in engines that require a short body plug. O.S. plugs should not be used in Novarossi, RB Concept and most other motors manufactured in Europe.
Features:
- Increased durability (longer life span of plug)
- More reliable idle characteristics
- Smoother transitions from higher to lower RPM.
- Designed for constant "ON/OFF" throttle operations.
- This plug is suitable for 1/10 and 1/8 scale off-road racing.
- It has a slightly lower heat range than the O.S. #8.
See the O.S. glow plug chart below to compare the different short body standard glow plugs available for O.S. engines:

Medium Hot |
Slightly "hotter" than the #8 and ideal for the constant "on/off" throttle action in 1/10 and 1/8 scale racing. |
No.8 |

A medium heat range plug for 1/8 scale racing and most .12-21 car, boat and truck engines. |
