can you add a small amount of oil? or reduce the nitro %

Check your smoke coming out the exhaust if its nice and white with a little bit of gas coming out your good my traxxas will over heat sometimes and I just check the smoke stream; I also check for steam coming off the head.

The most overlooked solution to overheating is a LOW SPEED NEEDLE that is set too lean. Nothing you do to the HSN can compensate for that and still run good at WOT.

What vehicle and engine is it? Is it fully broken in?

So if you are ever tuning and it keeps over heating when you keep adjusting the hsn adjust the lsn to be richer.

You want a nice idle and a good takeoff when the engine is warmed up. If you are trying to get that when it's still cold, it will overheat.

The low speed needle adjust ment works I was driving mine and no matter what I did to the hsn it still kept overheating so I richend the lsn 1/8 turn and it never overheated again.
