Default Smoke System Effects On Engine

Hey Guys,

I am wanting to put a smoke system on one of my new 1/4 scales, but had some input from a club member that a smoke system raises the engines temp? Stated, he said by running a smoke system on an engine reduces the heat of the muffler from the oil, therefore the engine temps rise because the muffler cannot transfer the heat from it, or not as much. Anyone know\have the scoop on this? I'd hate to damage my new engines just for some smoke trails ................. Thanks, Greg
