i run a serpent with a c5 rody so i have nothing to gain by plugging this motor.
p.s. he is using 20% nitro
The motor still sounds rich. The Ninja motor will read hotter then a Nova or Picco motor because the temp reading is right at the glowplug. I have been running the motor around 260 to 300 deg depending on the outside temp.
