RE: Revo 2.5R Compression, Cooling, & EZStart

The link you posted to the other thread does not state that 240-245 is the optimum temperature (and this is the 2.5R not 3.3) and that video merely states it's an "acceptable" temperature. But it...

RE: 2.5R Revo Tuning Issue

I am using Traxxas 20% Top Fuel, as when I bought it I was told this fuel keeps the engine in warranty. But I think I'm running rich; that head is quite shiny, blurry I know, but couldn't get a focus.
