Temperature Gauge



A temperature gauge can have many RC-related uses. It's most common use is to measure the temperature for a nitro powered RC vehicle. However it can have uses other than nitro applications as well. For instance, it can often be useful to check the temperature of your electric motors to see how hot they are getting, or to make your your high dollar battery packs aren't getting too hot.

As far as watching the temperature of your nitro engine, I would avoid on-board wire-loop type gauges. Their readings are not very accurate and can actually hinder you from staying in the correct temperature range. A good handheld gauge is much more versitile anyway. Below are some of the frequently used handheld temperature gauges.
