Overview
The HPI Racing Glow Plug Cold B6 is a high-quality nitro engine glow plug specifically tuned for .18 to .28 cubic inch (3 to 4.7cc) nitro engines running 20% to 30% nitro fuel. The "cold" heat range is engineered to perform best with high-nitro fuels, ensuring consistent ignition, reliable starts, and stable engine tune at higher RPMs.
