Phone bigboyztoys and ask if the one you have now will do.
it might be fine to start it but if it is a hot or cold one it may not suit your engine running temp also might be a mismatch for the % nitro you are running and could blow again leaving bits of the element going round inside the engine resulting in wrecking your new engine.
Also
If it is longer than the original one it could hit the piston crown and do damage
I am not trying to frighten you off here but be careful with nitro engines  :smt012
