I have never temped mine, but by the sounds of it, it runs pretty hot. I have had my truggy since last year (One of the first to get one) and the motor has always started and run well, so i don't bother messing with it. I know it runs pretty hot, so I would expect 285F to be about where I run mine. If you keep it below 300F, it will last for a while, but 250F is a better temp to be running for longetivity. I seldom use the temp gun, honestly. I tune for sound and power characteristices. The temp will vary with the weather, but a well tuned motor will always sound the same!
