Gator

RPM sensor is reading what I believe to be accurate, responsive when I rev. It idles around 68-72 hundred RPM and on a long straight I can get close to 30 thousand RPM. Judging by sound I believe the RPM sensor is quite accurate.

As a side not regarding temp, I have moved the sensor to between the lowest and second lowest heat sink and it matches perfectly to my heat gun. Now I just gotta get the temps where I want it and im as happy as larry!

Thats exactly what i had to do, plus fabricate a bracket, the one that came in the kit was useless with anything bigger that 1:10 scale

i've got the same sytem and mine is way off. was fine for about the 1st 6 tanks then went wacky. it kept reading 260-290. so i would check it with my temp gun and it was 190-200. thought mine gun was bad and my buddies read the same thing. so i pulled it out. plus the beeping drives me INSANE!

Mine read 30 degrees hotter than the temp gun. It was very consistant, so I just set the warning temp to 300 degrees. My RPM sensor kept getting dirty and not reading correctly. I just run it now without telemetry and use the voltage reading to know when to recharge my receiver battery.

Yeah allot of people are telling me to do that, just dissapointed a $400 AUD unit isnt accurate, im going to keep playing with mine until it matches the gun, I thought I had it right but there is a 12 deg c difference now, i know I can get it closer.
