Multiple Engine Temps... Too hot?
These are from an MBX Pro, run without the body. Outside temp is 37F, windy low humidity.
All temps are with duratrax flashpoint, taken after several full throttle bursts.
Top by glow plug:
224, 204, 214, 253, 244
Exhaust header:
314, 294, 302, 392, 384
Engine Body, by carb
192, 195, 197, 204, 199
Im thinking im too hot, especially once I put the body on. Im not too sure how hot these buggies should be running though, and im new to infrared temp gauges, I used to be a spit tester
IF you could lend me some advice, It would be great! Cant run crazy jumps with a blown engine

RE: Multiple Engine Temps... Too hot?
temp should be taken at the glow plug base. point the gage down to the plug
you should be around 230 to 210 using that meter.
I have the similar one from RShack. outside temps a little low how cold were you [&:]
