I am in the market for a temp gun Is the fastrax one any good because the last one i had was rubbish i bought it from china for 7 dollars.now i need one for my next race on sunday.And the fastrax is available. How is it accuracy is it way off or just a few degrees Or any other temp guns you reccommend?

I wouldn't bother investing to much in a temp gun. Get something fairly inexpensive to use as reference. There is a huge difference between a rich and lean bog.

I have a small fortune invested in engines, so I have no problem spending come coin on THE best temp gun!

If you tune with temps you can blow a small fortune on engines! LOL!

For that price I'd buy a new engine. There is NO reason to have a super accurate temp gun when you are not supposed to tune by temp anyway.

I agree having a temp gun is a necessity to make sure you're not overheating, so a good gun is the HPI one on amain.

can even find this one cheaper...look around.......pro quality, though.

exergen nuff said! I run elec. and nitro so having a acurate reading for electrics is important as well for my nitros...

Checked it against every different one i have seen at the track. Works great, and is very durable....

Agreed 100%

Exergen is the only one worth having. I own a Raytek and it isn't bad but it's not a Exergen. It's definitely worth having in your tool box. It has many uses and a very important part in your toolbox.

Yeah, honestly spending $250 on a temp gun. I have a hobbyking temp gun. It works great, by no mean am I a cheapo that runs cheap stuff. It works, that's what I want.

Unless everyone here is sending their temp gun off for certification every several months, chances are they are all several degrees off.

Save for buying some cheap eBay gun, they'll all get you close enough to give you an idea.

I've been using a $10 turnigy....it's been tested alongside a few others (including the one that our local fast guy uses) and it's within 2-3 degrees at 200F.

Again, not to tune by temps, but more to see when my comp heat has warmed up my engine enough, or to see if I went WAY too high or too low on gearing my electrics.
