I really like the Raytek Raynger ST. I paid almost $200 back in the day, but you can get 'em new for about $60 now.

im using a TG1 from tempgun.com and like it.
iv also tested it against temp gauges my dad (an aerospace machinist) had for work and it's damn accurate. i was averaging a 0.5 degree difference.

I have the same one as Syco, used to have a much nicer one, but this one works just fine.

I use the HPI, again very happy with it. I doubt it offers much extra for the money over the Duratrax Syco linked...

Why do you say that, Syco? I mean, how hard can it be to use? An I've wondered how good the Duratrax unit is for $24.
My buddy has this one:
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXATCL&P=ML
and it's $40.

I've got one like it by O'Donnel. Lately, they seem to disagree on motor temps by 20F. Mine is the older. But battery is fairly new.
Unless you have a third to compare it to, I wonder how to know which one's right?
