Hello guys so i have a duratrax. I have a couple questions, my engine gets to hot and it waste a lot of nitro also i need help please?
 
If it gets too hot and wastes fuel at the same time I would say the p/s is shot and a possible air leak
 
So do i have to take the engine apart and check it or what? Its brand new i tried breaking it in but it would just waist nitro and it waist a quart of it with out me even driving it
 
Then it is probably not too hot! And actually too cold and rich...
What makes you think its too hot ?
 
This is before i moved the high speed needle

Would that complete the break in
 
What you are experianceing is the "break in pains"and also are running too rich for a proper break in, you should really get yourself a temp gauge bud,temps should be around 240 f.......still waiting on an answer as to why you say its too hot
 
Yea I'm getting one as soon as i get my paycheck. Thanks i will keep that in mind or look back to this. Because i burn my self when i touched it thats why

Do you think I'm done with the break in or still continue driving slow and a little rich
 
Well wouldn't touch an auto engine once its warmed up would ya, lol, these run hotter! ....if you havent been getting the temps up to the degree I mentioned then the engine hasnt been properly broken in
 
Yea i really do need it, I'm going to tell my moms boyfriends friend to give me a temp gun
 
Dude just buy yourself a new duratrax flashpoint and call it a day,....
