i just ordered a venom temp guage so that'll greatly help me tune mine, do you know what temp your engine is meant to be at?

Status: offline 		yeah i got an answer somewhere else and it is :

220-240 degrees F is what is common. This should be taken after the engine has fully warmed up, and after several high speed passes.

i just ordered a venom temp guage and i cant wait to get it as it will help me tune my engine!!!!!! could you help me with that btw?

thanks

Status: offline 		Winner two.. I have expierence with a friends HPI RS4, but he recently moved away, and thought I would throw down $250 and hook this thing up..

Current parts ordered: steel braided fuel lines, K&N air filter, venom on-board temp. guage, venom magnetic slick's with honey comb design inside, aluminum rims (4), and my last piece is to find a nice pipe, which will come last.

Status: offline 		No, the one with the purple .15 engine. I'm still looking for a nice pipe.. nothing interests me on eBay. And I'm not buying locally, just way too expensive.

Has anyone upgraded their pipe and LIKE it?
