my current Raytech temp gun took a crap a coulple weeks ago. actualy the trigger broke. so i figured get a new one for back up use till i find a replacement trigger.thats if i can even get a new trigger,havent found one yet.
I spent about $90 on the Raytech and see alot of other brands for alot less. usaly around $35 to $50.

The ? is which brands are reliable and recomended?

hpi,duratraxx,any others?

Dont buy any. Tune by performance and smoke. If you do that your probly going to have the same life span but also a lot less of a headache trying to keep it in a certain temp range. Just make sure theres always smoke comming out the exhaust and you'll be fine. Way to many people get addicted to temping there motors every 5 minutes or so.

The little blue duratrax for about $23....works fine.

Or you can drop $250 on...what's the brand Mich? Exergen.....

thats the one everyone has

just the rich guys!! I have the $23 POS .

I picked up the one that HPI sells, I have a sneaking suspiciion that it's probably the same as duratrax one, but with the HPI label and a bit bigger price tag...

www.tempgun.com also sells one that looks like the duratrax item.

Don't worry, I have that one and so does Traxxas Thrasher and Sh1nn3r. It's good and works fine for the price lol. I've had mine about a year and replaced the battery once.

i have the axial one. nice temp gun!

ya i know about temping for performance and all, just like to make shure it doesn't hit too high of a temp. We spend too much mony on theis motors to take a chance on over heating them to self destruct.

I have the raytech one, how old is yours? I think it has a warrenty on it.

about a year and a half. and I don't remember sending in any paperwork. yet alone find it. LOL

Extregen

The Axial is pretty sweet looking.

i like it. you can get it down in the cooling head so you have less of a chance of a mis-read.

Axail?

got a link?

haven't herd of that one
