The thread for the glow plug has stripped with little force tightening the plug and now i have fuel pissing out when it is running. Can anyone tell me if i have to get another sts button or will another make fit. As you can imagine it has fustrated me and i dont know where to get sts parts. Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm running 47/18
this motor is awesome!!!
anybody knows between the sts 28 and the surefire .32 which one would be faster?
I just read the article in an rc magazine about the sure fire but they said it only puts out 2.8hp not the 3.6hp that the company claims?

Hey Good people!
I have a question for ya's, a couple of weeks back I sat down and read this thread and others from start to finish taking notes here and there, I noted and from memory it was Dino that wrote his LSN was approx 4 turns out and his HSN was approx 1.5 - 2 turns out. Is this correct?
If so, can you tell me if the top of the LSN is pretty much flush with the brass bit (#21050B)?
I ask as up until now the LSN has been way further out than it is now and my HSN has also been way further out that it is now. I am not sure whether these settings are safe to try!

my LSN sticks out quite a bit, not sure how many turns i have since i just run my truck and listen to it to see how is running if it needs to be reachen or lean out and then check tempatures. so i don't keep count on turns anymore.

Glow plug!
Hy gents! I have a question about glow plugs for the .28STS engine. I drive a LST and due to the fact that my Mach.26 engine is quit damaged i will use my new STS one. burn in is quite OK and I understand the procedure - but which type of glow plug I should use for this STS? And - what is the recommended cooling head temperature during normal run. Here in germany the averrage temperature is about 20-25°C.
OK - thats it for today!
