Need Help With Cooling Heat Sink Head

[BradZ]

I have no idea how expensive that really is.
Your currency is a lot different to mine.
But it sounds like someones going to be saving for a while!!

 

[Macca Pacca]

ok do you no where i can get a temp gauge as i dont have 1 and most ppl do so i thought it must b important?

 

[BradZ]

Yes, very important.
Have a look on ebay or an online rc site.
Your LHS have one?

Just so you know, anything over 280F is bad.
Anything too much under 200F after decent running is also bad.

EDIT: Just thought i'd point out that maybe you should type out your words a bit more. While it doesn't bother me as i'm a frequent msn user, others hate it. And you may even get flamed for it. Just a friendly heads up!
Just realised my post looks like a pyramid lol! Whoops.

 

[Macca Pacca]

Okay my controller is standard and doesn't have a temp guage

did u see the link that was on the original question?

 

[BradZ]

There was no link?
Controllers dont usually have temp guages on them.
You could get a handheld, or an onboard. I like my Venom onboard guage, as it will not only tell you the current temp, but also the min/max temp reached during runtime.

 

[Macca Pacca]

How much did that cost you then?

And is this any good as my head is scraped(bought it like that)http://www.rcxshop.com/product_info....roducts_id=555

 

[BradZ]

Well mine cost me $40AU.
Not sure what that coverts to for you.
But it wasn't too bad i didn't think.
Have you got a failsafe? Another must have for racing or bashing. Each with their own reasons!

 

[Macca Pacca]

yh i got a fail safe but it still seems to go quite a long way from me lol. but i use it on open fields so its ok.

 

[BradZ]

Thats alright, just didn't want you spending all this money on doing up your rig only to have it lose signal and run itself into something!

[BradZ]

Looks nice to! Although it isn't 100% needed. One scratch? Lol you should see the cooling head on my buggy!

 

[Macca Pacca]

[BradZ]

Nah, you'll be fine!

 

[Macca Pacca]

[BradZ]

Wait, you are going to buy the cooling head? Oh well up to you i suppose

I have a 1/8 buggy actually. GV Dominator, w/Force .25 Sweet rig!

 

[Macca Pacca]

its not the top of the list but i will get it...

Sweet when summer comes round I'm gonna swich 2 a hyper 7 (£205) for racing.

 

[BradZ]

I wouldn't.
Hyper 8.5 at least. 7's are outdated.
