SkyRC nitro engine heater

SkyRC now have a nitro engine heater available. Fitting all .19 to .26 nitro engines, the heater is powered by a 12VDC power source such as respective battery packs or a power supply and it pre-heats the engine to 60°C to 70°C within 10 minutes. Pre-heating a nitro engine will result in less “pinch”, the engine is easier to start and both the engine and glow plug will wear less compared to a “cold” start. Made from tough fabric an upper access port allows to insert a glow plug igniter or thermometer. Included with the heater comes a XT60 DC adapter wire.
