Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2006temp gun recommendation?
Got my car finally running right at WOT. It tries to take off sometimes when it's idling, and it's not because the servo is stuck or moving at all. I've tried to adjust the idle, but it either tries to go on its own, or it stalls. Anyway...I will get that figured out here soon. My question is about temp guns. Could someone recommend a decent one? Thanks a lot for any help. J > Got my car finally running right at WOT.

Regarding temp guns, MIP's on-board temp guage is da' shiznit IMO. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGZK7&P=ML HTH, Doc Ty once again, Doc > Ty once again, Doc No prob. Mount it where you can see the readout with the body on so you can get realtime "driveby" readings. In my experience, a nitro engine will overheat long before the smoke trail disappears and performance is maxxed out ("sight" and "feel" methods of tuning), which is why I like to use temp as a guideline for HSN settings. Under 300*, or even a consistent 300* is fine. When I'm running oval track with my truggy or buggy (3/4-full throttle for the entire tank of fuel) they'll both run in the low 300's and I haven't had any issues. Under normal on-off throttle circumstances they'll run 250-280-ish depending on the weather and type of plug I'm using. Look at tuning this way: shoot for temps between 220-300, but use sight and feel methods to get the best tune in this heat range.

I'm pretty dissapointed generally with the K4.6 so dont care if it runs hot, when it wears out, means I can get a better donk, the Picco in the inferno sh.ts on it and its only a .21 size. The thought of a Picco or similar .28 in it scares me and I love it :) Cheers Dre |
