are turbo plugs good for ur engine or bad wats the diffrence of the regular and turbo

Roelof

With plugs the glowwire is the most important part to run your engine. The turboplug has a better sealing wich will give more compression giving a slightly more power.

One bad thing of the turboplug is the missing copper ring, those rings are very usefull to shim 6mm axles in your car

You also want to make sure your motor has a head button made for a turbo plug, if not they will not work correctly...

turbo and regular are two different kind of motors.

sorry bought that but that answer is wrong, You can take a motor that has a button head and replace it with a turbo head button and it wil work fine...or the other way around.....

That's correct...Losi just released a conversion for the 454 motor in their RTR's.

Since we're already off to a slightly misinformed and rocky start...

Here you can see the illustrated difference between a turbo (on left) and standard (right).

Turbo has a tapered seat and uses no washer. Thus, the head button must be able to accept it, so make sure you have a turbo head button first as the plug types are not interchangeable.

As Roelof said, they make a bit more power, generally pull slightly smoother and can get a *touch* better fuel mileage.



They're not "bad" in any way; but can be faintly less forgiving to tune. Neither plug design is "good or bad" for your engine. By design they both function the same; the turbo is just a little better at it
