Spark Plugs
RC spark plugs are used in
large scale rc cars with
petrol engines like the HPI baja or Losi 5IVE. RC Spark plugs are used in petrol engine radio controlled cars for delivering electric current from the ignition system to the combustion chamber of spark ignition engines to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within the
rc engine. The timing of the spark is controlled by the ignition system. It is crucial that the spark plug fires at the correct time when the piston is extended the top center, if this does not happen and the rc spark plug fires early or late then the engine will not perform to the fullest. RC spark plugs receives an electrical charge each and every time the engine fires, if the electric charge stops then the engine will not work. That is why your petrol powered
rc car will stop running when the key is turned
Not to be confused with
nitro glow plugs, the rc spark plugs are used on larger scale petrol powered
rc cars such as the HPI Baja, Losi 5IVE and more. Here at MIBI there's something for everyone, whatever your level of expertise, age or interest.
