Which temp gun to buy
#1
Okay, I am needing a new temp gun. I have narrowed my choices to the Odonnel or the axial. Any others in that vein I'll consider. I have the duratrax and cant get consistent temps. I think I got some CA on the lens OUCH!! What do you guys suggest?

Thats what I was thinking. I like the size of the Axial though. Not sure of quality.

If I buy one right now (so I can stop stealing my Dad's Raytec) it would be the O'Donnel one.

I just use the spit test on my T-Maxx and any other truck i've had. If the spit dissolves sooner than about 1-2 seconds, shut it off, richen it about 1/8 turn, and let it cool at BDC before running it again. If it is about 1-2 seconds to boil the spit off, you're jsut right. Any later than 2 seconds, and you could lean it 1/16 or so.

The spit test is too unreliable. On a cold day the heat sink will be much cooler than the plug will because of the ambient temp difference.

Get a temp gun, though it isn't the golden way to tune.

I use the OD. It's accurate, and you should get a small belt-loop carrying case with it (at least I did). Plus it has a stopwatch feature...........
