Thanks for replying X,
I have the engine in a T-Maxx. I use the Raytek MT-4? I think thats the number. Its the one with the lazer pointer. I take temps at the glow plug by moving it around a bit and averaging it out. The temps at the exhaust header run alot hotter but nobody says to take the temps there. I have not tried anyone elses temp gun as of yet, but I will just for comparison. The ambient temp right now is about 45 degrees. However the engine seems to run the same temps regaurdless of outside temp. I like to go WOT alot and I thinks thats most of my problem. The bodies I run on my Maxx are the Proline Jeep body and a Traxxas PU body. the Jeep has half of the windshield cut out and all of the back window. The Traxxas body has the grill cut out with screen mesh inside and a 1x2 hole in the windshield. Heres a link to some Pics. As for the Wildcat fuel I noticed that I have to run it alot richer than other fuels like Byrons, Traxxas, etc. And It does expell alot more oil than the others. But then again it has alot more oil in it. I was thinking about trying the MSJ mini-fridge or the Mutant head to see about better cooling but $55 or so seems like alot just to give it a try.
