Good day
I have a Duratrax FlashPoint and a Traxxas Revo Truck.
In the instruction manual of the FlashPoint, a person is able to set the
  Emissivity. The manual recommends a value of 77E for Anoidzed
Aluminium (coloured ard engines, may be powder coated) (77%).

In the Traxxas documentation, it states that the temperature should not
exceed 260 degrees F.

What I understand the Emissivity value to do is, to boost the measured
temperature by a certain ratio, to reflect a realistic temperature
reading,due the the heat dissipation characteristics of the material.

This formula correct?
measured value + (measured value X (100 - E value)/100) = adjusted value
measured value X (1+(100-E value)/100) = adjusted value

With this said and done, does the Traxxas documenation mean the measured
value unadjusted (100E) (100% - perfect heat conductor) or the adjusted
value (77E)?

Thanks
BA
