⚡ At a Glance
  • Heat Range: N4 medium/cold head, suited to warmer conditions and hobby club racing
  • Best for: Hobby racers and nitro RC owners needing dependable starts and ready spares
  • Not ideal for: Winter use where a hotter N3 head would be more appropriate

Medium N4 glow plugs designed for 1/8 and 1/10 nitro RC cars and buggies. Compatible with a wide range of Traxxas, Kyosho and HPI engines, supplied as a pack of five.


Reliable starts, with N4 medium heat element

N4 is described as a medium, colder head compared with N3; N3 reaches a slightly higher start temperature so is better for winter. N4’s lower starting temperature makes it more responsive in warmer ambient conditions.

Easier cold-to-warm starts during summer or club race days, reducing the need to swap heat ranges between runs.

Longer life, with platinum/iridium super spark tip

The part is described as a Hot 70117 Platinum/Iridium Super Spark Glow Plug, with a longer-lasting element. The construction aims to resist wear from repeated ignition cycles.

Fewer replacements across a season of hobby use, so routine maintenance becomes less frequent and more predictable.

Broad compatibility, with support for many 1/8 and 1/10 engines

Compatibility includes specific models such as Traxxas T-maxx 3.3, TSUNAMI, VOLCANO STX, TORNADO S30 and many others listed, covering common 1/8 and 1/10 RC cars, trucks and buggies.

One spare pack fits multiple nitro platforms, useful for drivers who run different marques or help a clubmate with swaps between days.
