Also last race at Revelation, during day it would say 245.. but after about 3pm it goes down to 210-220.. when i only fatten it by half hour to one hour on hsn..
I have seen those Losi drivers be off as much as 30 degrees, but that may not be the case with yours. Hard to say, but as long as you got some smoke, and the engine is running fine, then temp is not that important really. I just make sure I am using the same gauge all the time, and use as a reference.
I have found the GRP to be real sensitive to tuning, so a tiny turn of the needles make a huge difference. Most of my adjustments are normally with the LSN, and not too much with the HSN. The LSN seems to cool the motor down, by just richening it 1 hr on the LSN. Mine is always within 1-2 hrs at any track i have gone to locally.
