I just purchased the DX3S and am very excited to get it up and running. I am running into issues figuring out how to install the RPM sensor. I have the REVO 3.3 and it seems like it is a very tight fit. It looks like I will have to install it side of the engine mount that faces the middle of the REVO.

Also the directions state to mount the temperature sensor where the cooling head meets the carb. Their is not enough of a gap for that, so i mounted it one fin higher. Any one else have this issue and did it work.
 
I have also read that due to the 2-speed transmission getting the speed off of the clutch bell will not be accurate when it switches into 2nd gear. I am stuck on trying to figure out the best place to mount the speed sensor. Does anyone have pictures of this installed on a REVO or any suggestions?
 
Edlit---- I just took the temp at room temp with both the gun and the sensor. They are with in 2 degrees

Ok, so I have all the sensors installed and they functioning. The Spektrum sensor is giving me a different temp than my temp gun, the temp gun shows a lower temp by 30-50 degrees. Any thoughts?

My temp gun was showing around 210 and the Spektrum was sounding an alarm showing 245. I pointed the temp gun at the sensor and it read 220.....
