RedCat Volcano T2 desired engine temp ???
Hey guys,
New to the forums probably one of the largest redcat info center i gave yet to find. My problem is this, i cant really find any specs on the volcano t2 engine...i have a RedCat Volcano T2 with a SH.18 3.0CC engine ( things wicked ) bought the hop up kit to go along with the truck, comes with aluminum iol filled shock aluminum front and rear control arms ( upper and lower ) a polished and tuned exhaust, couple drive shafts, fuel filter ( already had one to install when i got it ) extra for me, aluminum wheel nuts. I did the break in period, tanks 1&2 at idle speed, tank 3 at 1/4 throttle, tank 4 @ 1/2 throttle and tank 5 from 3/4 to full throttle. thing runs great. Im using 20% nitro racing fuel i use after run oil after every run air filter oil after every run and the thing runs great. the two speed really takes off, i got the LSN set since the factory setting was way to lean, thing wouldnt idle for more then 30-45 seconds when i first started it, and im adjusting the HSN small incriments at a time i think all the way closed i am 3-3 1/2 turns out on the HSN but befor i start tuning it to spec i need to know what the engine temp should be @ for optimal perfoemance and life of the engine...i have a MIP onboard temp guage on the way and i need to know what temps i should be looking to set this thing at so i dont blow it up. ive tuned it down to about 2 1/4 turns off of closed on the HSN but i brought it back to rich at 3-3 1/2 ( JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE THING COULD DO !!! ) But befor i run it at a constant setting i need to know that info abotu engine temp. if anyone can help i would deff appreciate it, from what i have been reading most engines runa t between 200 and 275 but idk about this engine and i would really like to know where i can find it or if anyone knows who is here....
Thanks Guys,
I'll be posting here often
