Glow Plugs
« on: July 04, 2020, 08:38:18 PM »
Where is the best place to buy Thunderbolt long RC glow plugs.  I finally ran out of mine that I bought years ago.

Thank you
Mike

  I believe he is the sole source for these also? I have never seen them anywhere else since they took the brand name over. Glow Devil plugs are available direct only now from Sonic Tronics also. Since the Tower Hobbies collapse and internet shopping and mass shipping many manufacturers are eliminating the middle man and keeping their sales to themselves.

I think that you can still email Ken Enya and order Enya plugs. His #3 plugs are hard to beat.

Mike, You can buy Fireball RC Longs from Brodak as well as certain Sig plugs. Of late I've found that the Sig 4C plugs work really well for Stunt of all sports. Fireball plugs really work well too and aren't really all that pricey at retail! Check to see who might be your local Brodak Dealer they're good people!

Since the subject is fitting ... I know there's a ton of info here, but I'd like to ask users some specific questions -

What glow plug is your #1 choice for -

(1) OS LA .46
(2) Fox .35 Stunt
(3) OS FP/LA .25
(4) OS FP/LA .15

Thanks in advance!

GlowDevil R/C Long for everything that takes a long reach. For short reach I have some K&B shorts.
