Hobbytech standard candle n°5 Medium - HTR-GP-N5

The Hobbytech HTR-GP-N5 is a standard , medium-grade #5 glow plug with a short thread , designed for compatible RC model engines. It is particularly suitable for OS, Alpha, Force , and other engines using a similar short-reach spark plug.

In a methanol-fueled RC engine, the glow plug ignites the air-fuel mixture. Its filament is heated at startup using a glow plug igniter, and then remains incandescent due to combustion and the heat produced in the combustion chamber. Choosing the right glow plug contributes to a smooth idle, good acceleration, and the overall proper functioning of the engine.

With its medium heat range, this Hobbytech spark plug is a versatile solution for everyday use in a nitro model. The short thread is crucial when replacing it: it must match the cylinder head type and the engine design. A short-threaded spark plug is intended exclusively for engines designed for this thread size.

The HTR-GP-N5 is an essential part of the maintenance kit for any nitro RC car, whether it's a buggy, truggy, monster truck, or on-road model using a compatible engine. Keeping a spare spark plug in your field box allows you to quickly replace a worn or fouled one, ensuring reliable starting and smooth operation.

During installation, the spark plug must be fitted into a cool, clean cylinder head, without overtightening the threads. A suitable spark plug heater is necessary to start the engine. Proper carburetor tuning, the correct fuel, and a well-maintained air filter also contribute to prolonging the spark plug's service life.
