MC-59s as well
Traxxas med. plugs, use the EZ Start 2 (2.5 Maxx) has never failed to start in the first full gallon. McCoy plugs are great but the Maxx blue wire connector won't fit on them without mods.

I use a JZ Products J3002 that is an exact fit for the TMaxx it has a tapered end so the blue wire does not have to modified. Make sure that if you get them to get them without the Idle Bar
I bought them at www.TowerHobbies.com I have been running them for a little while and they seem to run good.

ok...maybe i'll get those.........i'm in a REAL tuff spot......my lhs dosen't have any glow plugs that'll fit the t-maxx......i dunno if they know that others will fit though.......which ez-start wire requires mods?? the one that came with my maw is a little spring in heat shrink tubing.......and that peice of turd didn't last long.......the new one i bought was different.....it was two curved pieces of metal that you force around the plug post......and it's a little better i think....and it wiuld probably work on any plug right??
(i taped it all up in elec. tape....so it's not gana break :D
when it does break i'm going to buy the traxxas locking glow wire when it's out.....it will last a long time if the wire dosent get scredded
but which ez-start WIRE do you have??? (there are 2 i know of)

i use the OS A 3. has been working great so far, usually lasts a gallon or so, depending on your ability to keep the fuel mixture rich enough;)
plus it's cheap
