EcoPower Digital Infrared Temp Gauge

This infrared temperature gauge is tailored for R/C engines, motors, battery packs, chargers, and more. This non-contact tool quickly delivers reliable precision temperature assessments with ease. It really is an essential companion for safeguarding your valuable equipment with precision.

Electronics

Knowing the temperature of your electric motor and ESC allows you to ensure your electronics are safe from overheating. Overheating an electric motor can cause the internal magnets to lose their strength, damaging the internal wiring, or even damage the sensor board. It is recommended to keep your electric motor temperatures under 170°F. If your ESC gets too hot, it can cause internal damage or even the capacitors failing. On performance ESCs, checking the lowest point of the ESC can give you a good indication of what the ESC board temperature is.

Nitro

Knowing your nitro engine temperature can aid in tuning and help ensure you do not overheat your engine on a hot day. Using the EcoPower temperature gauge can help you with many startup and tuning procedures. When starting your nitro engine, it is a good practice to pre-heat the engine block. This can be done by using a heat gun or a nitro engine heater. Getting your engine hot prior to starting can lead to easier starting and aid in engine life. Most performance nitro engines run between 230-270°F, using this temperature gauge can help you tune your engine to the optimal running temperature for your engine. It can also help you check if your engine is running too hot, temperatures over 290 can lead to losing compression or scaring/scratching the internals.

NOTE: These temperatures are only suggestions. To ensure your engine/motor/ESC are running in the optimal temperature range please check the owner's manual of your RC equipment.
