Default Revo 3.3 TEMP

Ok i just got my revo a few months ago and i have put a lot of **** on it already just about all skids are aluminum and i have rpm A arms and a lot of other stuff including a sweet TSIAS dual pipe. Anyways i wanted to tune my revo the best as i can so i bought a temp guage thing but i can't find what the average temp for the 3.3 should be.

If anyone knows what temp it should be at or has tips for tuning out the 3.3 i would greatly appreciate it thanks a lot.

It's in your manual. READ IT! It's going to be around 230-260f.

Yes,that was the very first thing i did when i took my 3.3 outa the box read it form cover to cover,Carl 300 aint exactly the best temp to have your engine at,but if you been doing it all along and its been running fine then i guess keep running.i like to keep mine around 210 though.

Default RE: Revo 3.3 TEMP

depending on ur altitude..

for low altitudes i would say any where from 200 to 280 sounds fine

highrer altitudes require u too lean more so it might go a lil higher

a 3.3 and a picco max.

i run from 250 to 300.

i just like them on the hot side.

i don't drive my self nuts over tuning them. i keep a eye on it ..when they get over 300 i will take it easy for a minute and or maybe give the screw a little twist. but i am not chasing a magic number.

thanks for reminding me

integy will have out just in time for summer. electronic fuel injection for most popular enignes. this should eliminate all tuning and temp troubles for good!!

I love integy.[sm=red_smile.gif]
