I bought 3 new LC4 plugs for my cars and my RS4 killed them all. I put the first one in, and after it didn't start for a while I checked the plug and it was dead. I grabbed a new one, checked it before putting it in. After the car failed to start, I checked the plug and it was dead also. 3rd one did the same, car never started.

Again this is on a RS4 with Nitro Star T3.0 engine.

What is the voltage of your glow plug ignitor? I would try an O.S. A6 or A8 with that engine the LC4 is for a T-Max engine.

HPI recommends a cold plug.

I use a cable plug hocked up to a Duracell Procell 6v.

I've ran LC4s before as thats what my LHB carries. This is the my first time with this problem? Also, this isn't my first 6V, this a new one that I got.

Glow plugs only require 1.5V, 6.0V could be burning up your glow plugs.

I've been using a 6v for years, this is my 3rd battery, and this is the first this happened. Anyway I can use a reduced? I don't want to let this brand new 6v go to waste. I'm using a Hangar glow starter.

Your 6 volt battery need not go to waste....that's a 'camping lantern battery'.

It will remain a plug killer until you wear the battery and your wallet down.....really, don't use 'lantern battery'.
