Is it good practice to drop your settings in hot weather?

Say go from T6 to T5 reducing ignition, F8 to F7 increasing fuel?

Cheers,

Depends on if your original settings are  safe and not bordering on extreme.
If you also have a good IC then you could leave your settings as is like I do.

Only way to really tell is to log your car.
Without traction power is nothing!

If your Revo was set up correctly then there will be plenty of headroom for warmer weather. There are also correction maps to compensate for air temp already built into the software.
