driving in the winter

[dshaffer]

Do most of you guys run your nitro mt's in the winter and cold temps. What is the coldest temp you should run nitro. I was running my tmaxx the other day and it was about 35 deg., just put a new glow plug in (traxxas 3232) and it wasn't running very good. I just ran it the other day with the stock plug (3131) and it was running fine. Should I run a different plug in the winter. Also, should I have to richen or lean the carb needles to get in running good in cold temps

[chrisoneal]

u should richen in in cooler weather and lean it in hot weather..

[dshaffer]

should I change glow plugs or can I run the same plugs I run in warmer weather

[chrisoneal]

what engine do u have in there and what % u using

[dshaffer]

I have the 2.5R and I am using 20% top fuel. I have always run the traxxas plugs (#3232 super-duty long) didn't know if this plug will work well in colder temps

[chrisoneal]

i would run a hot plug in the small block maybe like a mcoy 59's or os8

[suckfish]

i would run the Mcoy plug..

If u r runing your car in winter u should put aluminum tape or foil WRAPED around your cylinder head on your engine to keep your engine warm...
