Losi have obviously been shopping in the same place as Edit RC with the release of their Temp Tuner, a tool which incorporates both a temperature gauge and a tuning screwdriver into one. Featuring a state-of-the-art infrared, non-contact temperature gauge it includes a special silicone ring to ensure you position the gauge at the same location each time you check the temperature level of your car’s engine. The temperature gauge will measure temperatures of -27°F to 428°F, and can be set to measure in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Spin the tool around and you have a high quality racer-designed tuning screwdriver, long enough to get into the smallest areas. The precision ground tip is wide, with the correct taper for making the finest needle adjustments with confidence.
