HI everyone..... OK I need some serious answers to this subject....
I live in Eastern PA about 70 miles East Philadelphia & currently the hole East Coast is in a huge heat wave with outside Air Temps peaking @ 101 deg's @ 1:00pm "Tuesday" with the rest of the week's forecast is temps in the HI 90's with a max to hit 97 degs with the humidity to really suck... Well the other day my 5 Friends wanted to go out & Bash @ our bashing area...This is @ 11:30am & it's already 88 deg's outside I said I'll tag along but I ant going to bring my SLAYER pro 4x4 out.. Well after about 3 hrs of bashing
My Friends Rigs start to break down
Friend #1 Got 2 Lipo battery's to puff really bad
Friend #2 Brushless Motor got so hot it would not turn freely
Friend #3 Could not keep Brushless Motor from overheating &
Fan on ESC had problems running
Friend #4 Nitro Engine on his SAVAGE Let loose Well over 300 Degs
according to heat gun.. "He was Ticked Off Big Time"
Friend #5 Nitro engine started making weird noises & Friend changed Air filter & said the dry dirt & dust clogged it refilled the tank & off he went... 10 min later a hole bunch of smoke coming from body his engine was 370deg's & a hole in bottom of engine " I made a comment " JUST A DIRTY FILTER UHH " he was not happy @ all & yelling & he threw his water bottle clear across the Bashing area " I myself was LMAO @ all my Friends..... They said what's so dam funny OUR rig's are broken... I SAID I TOLD YOU GUYS IT WAS A BAD IDIEA TO COME OUT & BASH IN THIS HEAT....
So that night around 7:45pm temps where down to 82 Deg's the overnight low was forecast 79 with HI humid conditions... I took my Slayer Pro 4x4 out to the Bashing Area with 3 of my Friends who just during the day broke there Rig's... I ran 4 tanks of Nitro through my Slayer & my temps stayed @ Norm or a few deg's higher I said SEE MY RIG RUNS FINE... & Said I am telling you guys the HI Heat today caused 80% of your Problems THATS WHY I DIDENT BRING MY RIG OUT THIS AFTERNOON... I don't Run my Rig's in the mid day summer heat I run mostly in AM HRS "not past NOON & Evenings........
Does any one run there RIG's in HI Heat or Hottest parts of the Day in the Summer time & if you do what problems did occur. I am trying to prove a point to my FRIENDS that HEAT did play a HUGE FACTOR on there issues " please be honest with posting " I plan on showing posts to my Friends
