Spark Plug

[ika]

Hi,


Does stock spark plug work well?


I have installed Ramtech-RC kill switch.


Going to start my new MT tomorrow.

 

[RampageHopUps]

No it doesn't work as well as the NGK. It will give you problems with both life and glitches.

 

[ika]

what plug to get?

 

[Ludabud]

Get NGK CMR7H

 

[topblissgt]

get it for $3.00 at Advance auto in stock

 

[ika]

What is the best spark plug?

As I see NGK CMR7H is way too cheap.

 

[ika]

What you think about this?

No need for the Iridium, it won't help anything.

 

[Ludabud]

It's really not a cheap plug. I've had one last me so long I can't even remember when I replace last cuz it still made my truck run good.

Did anybody fill diferrence between stock and ngk spark plug in performance, starting , etc...?

This plug is not available in mt country and it take about month to deliver.

The NGK is like night and day over the original plug. Well worth the wait. Buy 10 of them

 

[RampageHopUps]

Your auto store should have a cross reference to the NGK with Champion, etc.

Is the NGK IRIDIUM CR7HIX SPARK PLUG ok for the 32cc engine? I wanted to install it today but I noticed it's waaaay taller than the stock plug, I don't even thing the cover on top of the plug will fit with this thing.

The iridium is supposed to be the best you can get for these motors.

Very hard to find here though

 

[Ice_2k]

How is it the best if it doesn't fit?...

From largescaleforums:

NGK CR7HIX Iridium Plug and NGK CR8HIX Iridium Plugs are to tall for the hpi baja 5b and only just fit the fg mt

Also, I just called my local hobby shop, which sell the HPI Maverick Blackout 32cc (which seems to be the exact same thing as the Rampage MT) and asked to buy the CMR7H for it (they don't know the Redcat brand so whenever I need stuff, I just tell them I have a Maverick) and they said that the CMR7H (which some people recommend here) is also not right for the 32cc engine and that the correct spark for these engines is CMR5H.

Thoughts?

It's just a different heat setting plug made for that 32cc motor.

30cc & 32cc are different? Correct ?

So one is better for that motor

I have run the the 5 in my 30.5 but prefer the 7.

The 5 is a hotter plug.

I have heard of them damaging pistons in the 30cc but Bert has run a 4 with no probs so I suppose it's open to debate

I'd check with DDM to see what they recommend

 

[Phill]

Just checked and the Zenoah 4 bolt 32cc runs the same CMR7H as all other Zenoah motors so your plug should be OK for your motor

I forget the number for the Champion but its also a 7 heat range resistor plug.

You need the resistor to stop interference with the radio and kill switch.

 

[Ice_2k]

So considering I have some upgrades coming, maybe the colder CMR7H would be better than the CMR5H...

What is the resistor you're talking about?

If it was my car I'd stick with a 7 either iridium or the CMR

You will have to take the connector off the end of your old plug and put it on the iridium one to use it.

The resistor is built into the plug to stop radio interference

The R in the plug number means it's a resistor plug.
