MAIN MOTOR, TAIL MOTOR & BATTERY TEMPS

A while ago, in reply to a post by r william, I listed some of the temps I was getting on my Axe main motors.
They were in the range of 250 to 300 fahrenheit (f). I'm convinced now these reading were erroneous due to a
low battery.

After putting new batteries in my Duratrax IR thermo, the measured temp.s were much lower.

Flying the 910 mAh Electrifly pack until the Lipo Protection Module cuts the juice,
I'm averaging about 135f to 140f on the main motor, about the same on the battery
and about 115f to 120f on the tail motor. Ambient temp is 80 - 85.

The Duratrax thermo manual does point out that (accurate) measurements are not possible when the
low battery icon is showing, but hey, who reads the manual?

So as for the previous Rosanna Rosannadanna readings .......... never mind.
