Who's Got The Best Price?

[Russell Bear]

Who has the best price on McCoy MC-9's in the US?

Thanks.........

Russell,

Discounthobbies4u.com has the MC-9's for the following prices:

$2.79 for quantities of 48-96

$2.69 for quantity of 108

Also check with Bob Kensil at Phil's Hobby Shop. Many times they can match or beat those prices.

Bill McGraw was around $2.35 back in the spring for quantities over 100.

Bill told me that he had at least one or two price increases from McCoy and were at least $2.75 ea for 100. That was in about July. May have gone down or up in price. Worth checking with him however.

Remember a few months back all the complaints about the MC-9's breaking? Has this been resolved or was it just a fluke?

Me personally I don't care if they resolved the problem or not I bet I went threw about $70 worth of them this past summer with nothing. just money out the window. :angry:

I went to K&B HP and HD with no problems at all. I don't know if these plugs are as good but at this point I don't care at least I can get more then one run out of them.

Has anyone else tried the Merlin glow plugs yet? I bought a bunch of them at the Toledo Expo and they seem to be just as good as the McCoy's. I paid $2.00 each for various ones. The 2002's are a medium and the 2004's are cold plugs. I've had nothing but bad luck with the K&B's, they fry the wire at lower amps than the McCoy's and Merlins.

Odonnell Racing Has several Different Heat range Boat plugs on the Market. I just received a few prototypes to Try out. So far, So good. No Problems. Last a lot longer than a 9 McCoy.

Where do you get the Merlins?

And how do you find Odonnel's website?

I use the odonnel 099 1/8 scale buggy plug in my 20 boats. they are a little pricey, but they are bullet proof.

I'm looking for a good all around plug that will work good in a 21, 45, and 67 engines running 50/18% fuel. I have had OK luck with the McCoys but always open to try something different & cheaper.

Thanks for the input......

 

[Bob Kensill]

Best plug I ever ran was an OPS plug. Ran it all season in my 21. Dropped it in some tall grass one day and never found it. Don't know if they are still available.

 

[Ron Olson]

Merlin plugs You'll have to e-mail them as their site isn't done yet.

Just talked with Aldon at Merlin Plugs. He has been building these plugs for years now and have had very good luck with them. They are glass filled and he states that he has had two failures from the stem out of the last 500,000 plugs. The .008" wire (HD) is the plug I would need. Part #2001HD is currently at $2.50 ea and could get them down to $2.00 each when ordering around 100.

Thanks Ron.........

 

[Ron Olson]

Russ, if you order some, let me know. I'd take at least 50 of them if you want to unload some.

 

[Russell Bear]

Will do.........

 

[Big Red Machine]

Why don't we get together on this and put in an order? I'll do 50 of them for around $2 also. So between Ron and I we have a 100 piece order at least.

So which one heat range wise is the exact replacement for the McCoy MC-9? I might be real interested in this also. How much of a break would they give if you hit 500 or 1000 plugs??

The 2001HD is the same as the McCoy MC-9.

Didn't ask about that many in an order. I'm sure he would be willing to work with us. I'll give him a ring in the morning.
