Do I Need to Purchase Extra Glow Plugs? Yes. Even though your X-Cellerator Nitro Stadium Racer comes with a glow plug already installed in the engine, glow plugs wear out, especially during the break-in period; therefore, it's a good idea to have a couple of spares handy. The glow plug can make a big difference in how your engine performs.
