Temp Tips
The best way to check the temperature of your engine is with an infrared temp gauge. Dynamite, Duratrax, Protek R/C, and other brands offer units for less than $30. Place the temp gauge in the center of the head to take a reading. Some temp gauges can protrude into the center of the head and that’s OK, but the temperature reading there will be 10-15°F higher since it’s closer to the combustion chamber.
