Hope everyone is having a good day,
what is the target running temp of the Traxxas 3.3 eng?
I tuned my new Eng and was pretty happy with the way it ran. I had smoke on acceleration and the eng responded to throttle input with out hesitation.
I noticed that the temp was as high as 300 after enjoying some wheelies and speed runs. I’m observing the temp from the Traxxas telemetry. The temp did drop as I eased Up on the truck.
here’s some specs and what I’ve done to control the temp better.
im using Traxxas 20%
lowered body as much as possible to expose heat sink to fresh air.
cut front and rear windshields to allow more airflow.
richen fuel as far as 4 turns on high speed needle.
is this normal and I’m running the truck too hard or is there‘s an Eng problem I need to find or correct.
thanks
bill
