no it shouldnt be a problem, if you are worried about it just replace it as they are not expensive

When I ran Monster trucks I used to leave the glow plug igniter on it until the motor warmed up and ran smooth but with the heli motor they run different and I don't do that any longer but no it won't hurt the glow at all.

Re: first timer boo boo

the only thing it might do it burn out your plug if ran at higher rpms, ie more heat or excessive heat

Re: first timer boo boo

You didnt by any chance actually take off and then spot your glow battery hanging off the engine???

I did that a few times on my first heli, it doesnt cause any problems usually....sure looks funny though. :-)

Try fitting a remote glow lead.....itll be more obvious and if the engine head is awkward to fit the battery to then a remote lead assy is much better.
