Interesting. It's been several years since I ran an OS standard plug in anything (in fact, I don't use ANY standard plugs anymore) but the last time I did they worked fine. A friend of mine still uses OS standards in his RB without problems but maybe others are not so lucky.
Easy solution to this problem. From the motors you listed as wanting to try, get the Picco with a turbo head and use OS turbo plugs.

Now I'm really lost. Your trying to get glow plugs for all those engines?

I think you've found your solution. If you choose a turbo plug engine you will have broader choices for which can be run on the OS plugs that are available to you.

OK, so my point is, if you can purchase a different engine other than an OS, I can't see why you can't get glowplugs for it also. Is the importer in Dubai bringing in other brand engines only with no parts to go with them? If so, I wouldn't bother to purchase them if you have no parts available.
As for OS plugs in other brands, Go Tech, I believe, is the only manufacturer to state they use OS type glowplugs. Other than that, I personally don't swap glowplugs brands around. For some it works, some it doesn't

Hey ezveedub,
In Dubai, hobby shops only sell the OS, Novarossi and JP.
Novarossi - no parts available
JP Eagle - way to expensive and its a monster
OS - everyone sells them, parts readily available
I have 3 OS engines. But really want to try something different. On the race track you will only see OS engines. So got bored.
JPX.21 no parts available on amain hobbies. I am now leaning towards the GRP or Go Tech 5 Port.
As you said, Go Tech 5 Port is the only manufacturer to state they use OS type glowplugs. But GRP does not state that and for some it works, some it doesn't.

For what it's worth, the Jammin JPX .21 is exactly the same engine as the Picco P7r and all the parts of the Picco will fit. I don't know if that helps any.

Davidka - Amain don't have the Picco P7r parts. They got a new Picco P7r 3 standard engine. Even if JPX.21 had parts; only problem I would face is the glow plug.
