Does anybody know what heat a .21 1/8th scale buggy should be rubbing at?

also this sounds really stupid but whats the difference between a 3 channel radio and a 4 channel radio?

A three channel radio has steering and throttle channels with an extra channel you can use for a fail switch or a second servo for whatever. Or for lights.
About temps I would say around 225 250
No more then 285
But I've learned to tune to perfirmance not temp and adjust a little if temps are off.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
 
The temp depends on the range that the manufacturer designed the engine to run at. Most Nova's like to be run in the 275+ range whereas a REDS needs to run at 220 and below. You need to consult the engine manufacturer for the proper specs for your particular engine.
