Default RE: losi 8ight 2.0 rtr thermal telemetry

well all the sensor is is a basic thermistor, if installed in the incorrect position on the cooling heard it will misread the temperature as it will pick up exhaust heat, etc... IR temp gauges read the engine temperature at the glowplug, not the crankcase, or the cooling head alone so in order to get your most accurate temp reading from the thermistor (sensor) it too needs to be reading from the top of the glowplug to be accurate. in the case of the Mach 454 that is between the 3rd and 4th fins on the heatsink...
