I was breakin in my engine today. It was the first nice day around here. Im using the traxxas way to break the motor in. On tank 2 and 3 the engine was starting to overheat. I have cut wholes and the needles are at the stock setting. Any ideas why it is overheating? Thanks for the help.

i found that with my rb it was running a little on the lean side when i was at break in so just richern the needle up 1/2 a turn also what fuel u using and what temps is it running ideally it should be running at 230-250 max
but 230 is good for break in
