Tmaxx wierd... again

[benjman420]

I can't, it's just the sound of the video. The truck sounds like it is bogging down some.

 

[flandersander]

I get it. So when I get one it can't go over what like 270? So you think its dangerously lean?

 

[benjman420]

I agree with Rolex, you can't tune by temp only. My t-maxx likes to run at 260-285, which seems hot. But it doesn't exhibit any signs of overheating so I assume all is OK.

 

[flandersander]

Well to tell you the truth I haven't used the temp at all cuz it was so inacurate.

 

[benjman420]

I never used temp before either, I just got tired of spitting on my engine for information. So I bought a temp gauge. The temp. gauge is only partially useful, only you can tell how your truck is running........

I get it. So when I get one it can't go over what like 270? So you think its dangerously lean?

No, I didn't say that. It sounds okay as far as I can tell, but you'll need a temp gauge just to be sure you're in a safe zone.

 

[flandersander]

Ohhhhhhh. I get it. Well isn't it ok as long as it isn't stalling out? I will get one but just wondering.

 

[benjman420]

Thats the thing, as long as your not stalling out the higher temps seem to be ok=devil
At least for my situation.... I definetly recomend getting a temp gun....

 

[flandersander]

for now will the probe work? until i can get one?

 

[Nickjames]

it should just add about 10-20 degrees to the reading...

 

[flandersander]

Why? I mean how can you tell? Nickjames

 

[Nickjames]

i dunno but u said that it didn't even work whne i was there

 

[flandersander]

Well u drove it a bunch. You should know I tought you everything you know but not everything I know.

 

[Nickjames]

i mean the temp prob u told me it was busted

 

[flandersander]

battery was dead. I changed it.

 

[benjman420]

Aas long as you keep spitting on the head while your running than you shouldn't have any problems with temperature.......... Until you get a temp gun........I was going to get a traxxas temp probe, but I heard they don't work that well..............

 

[Nickjames]

ok now that makes sense

 

[flandersander]

yeah. Well it should.

 

[Nickjames]

oh haha its 1:56 in the morining and i have been up since 7:30 am yestarday

Regardlesss of the time Flanders, I would lean out the LSN an 1/8 of a turn or so in the morning. And then go from there. I frequently have the same problem, and fixing the LSN seems to usually take care of it.
