Hi all, just got hold of my Matrix, and I'm extremely excited...... but as a relative newbie to nitro engines I thought I might ask a simple question.... Anyone tell me whats the optimal running temp of the engine, I'm using a Venom smart monitor and want to set the fail safe but not sure what temp to set it at.... I've looked around on the net...but unable to find anything definative

Thanks in advance

Fulcrum.

Try 180 degree as a start and go from there.

mine is running between 230-240 with lots of smoke and good power. the motor seems sluggish
until it gets over 220. but after that it rips pretty good.
hey cen have you had any problems with the diff ends? i had the peice that the bearing rides on
break away from the case. dont know what happened or how it could have happened.
my lhs has already made it good. now i just need some good weather!

Trackman, are you still pleased with your matrix or do you wish you would have got another buggy?

ive allready got two 777s that ive been racing the past year. but so far im impressed with the design
and tunability of the matrix. it seems to handle the woops and rough sections a little better than my 777s.
im not abusing it but i am being aggressive with my driving. little changes in set-up make a big difference
on this buggy. other than the freak problem with the diff it is holding its own. the test will be when we get
a deccent weekend weather wise. get 10-15 kyoshos and xrays at my track, then see how it does
against competition. really hard to judge running alone. but i will let you know how it turns out.
this snow sucks!

O.K. guys i order my CEN Matrix, I should have it on December 15. Man! I can't wait to take it the track, its my first gas buggy. I had an old RC10 worlds car in 1994 but never raced it. Thanks for all your help trackman.

dawg check your diffs when you get it. they give you a pack of assorted shims in the box. my diffs were
a little tight, i added the shims and they were smooth as glass. the internal gear mesh was just a little
too tight. im still trying different diff oils to see what suits me best. so far lighter oils are working best.
if anything else pops up ill let you know.

Thanks everyone for the replies..... I'm using a venom smart temp monitor and its temp sensor is around the bottom fin of the head, still with what I think is a very rich engine I'm getting temps of around 300 deg F. Any ideas??? Here's a pic too.....

Fulcrum how long have you had your matrix and how does it run? i search and saw where you said you had just got it on the 10th. But i would still like to know how it runs?
