on board temp or mini temp gun

[tsiap]

which one you guys owned?

I have used both.

A hand held temp gun is a must have even if you are using an on-board.

When you say "using an on-board" rob, what do you mean?

On-board temp monitoring device that has a heat sensor that wraps around the base of the cooling head.

Sweet! Thanks for the info sir! Appreciate it.

I've had both and the on board sensor would read low, compared to the hand held. The on board was a Venom model and the hand held is a PE-1 from tempgun.com

i got a traxxas on board temp for sale , its more accurate than the venom which i have too. venom would be anywhere from 10-15 degrees off, but the Traxxas one one goes 5 6 degrees off from my HPI temp gun

but i like the venom cuz it has a temp cut off so i use that

+1 on the PE-1, it's small and accurate. I think they are around $20-$25.

i have the little oval O'Donnel (spelling) Racing temp gun..I like it and it seems pertty accurate. I dont think the price killed me either.

I have a mini temp gun can't remember what brand but after I got it I realized that it only goes to 230 degrees, so make sure which ever one you get it goes over like 300 degrees, I now have a temp gun for my brushless motors oh well...

anyone else can tell me the difference in C/F degree between on board and the hand held

thanks
