Max Temp

[pckx]

What it the max temp your engine for a touring car is supposed to be at before burning it up??

It depends on the engine, but with most engines in any type of rc, 220-270 is the range you want to be in. Cooler causes damage, hotter causes damage.

From what I've read though, Fantom engines don't mind floating around 300, but that's the only one I'm aware of that can handle more than 270 comfortably.

I ran the OS 15 cv-r(x) and it performed best in the 220-260 range. I got 6 gallons out of that engine before I traded the truck it was on.
