tom, fyi plug 'temp' (like your cold plug) relates to the percentage of nitro in the fuel that you burn.

ex. higher nitro content, use a colder plug. lower content, uses warmer/hotter plug. outside temp affects your tune. colder weather, run richer.

The OS #8 will work but it is a "short" plug. It will not sit flush with the bottom of the dome and will lower compression a bit resulting in a little less power, not the best choice but will work in a pinch.

great point pure

Is there any easy way to measure the compression ratio to get peak performance from these mills?

i use the mccoy #9 with my axial 28. 25% odonell. temps in the 240-260 after a good high throttle sprint...

If you don't use a long plug your engine will run hotter with no increase in performance. Been there, done that. Run a long plug or your engine will suffer.
Call Axial and they will tell you the same thing.

What plug do you guys recommend for the LRP Z.28 running 20%?
