Its been 98 here for 3 days

Thats a cool looking truck, I've never seen them before. Seems like a lot of esc and motor you've got in the one?

You don't have AC?

I understand, My ac works great, but I do a bunch of stuff in the garage too, it gets to be about 120° to 130° degrees in there once it hits 110° outside. Kinda sucks the life out of you.

My garage gets way to hot also. Luckily I have a hobby room but if I didn't I'd still use my bathroom over the garage.

Don't wand to use the dremel and stuff in the house, metal shavings suck in carpet.

I keep it 78 degrees 24/7 I tell everyone if that’s not cold enough for ya there’s always outside! I work in construction (no in the field any more) but I spend a good chunk of my day out there so when I get home it’s time to chill !!

Wow! We keep ours at 68!

Funny...I keep mine at 78 also. Plenty cool, especially with ceiling fans.

It’s not that hot here is SWFL but the humidity here adds to the heat index into the triple digits. I feel ya though,went to the park with my kids (minus any RCs this time) glad I didn’t because my kids lasted a while 30 minutes before the melted in pools of sweat . Gonna try again this weekend though. Good luck with the build

We keep ours at 78 also. The high temps suck but it's those low temps that will kill you because the AC never gets a break.

Yep! Hotter than a witch's you-know-what here lately. I was up north at my cabin ( ELEV. 6700 ) and it was still 97 up there. Where is our Monsoon already?

It was supposed to be 106 today but it's currently 109.
