I'm tired of This!!!!

[skeeter1255]

I have an AE .15 that came with my rtr rc10gt this engine to me stinks. i dont know if i did the break-in procedure wrong or what no matter how rich it is, it it'll reach temps of like 290, that stinks. I've spent a whole day yesterday triying to get it to run. once i do then more problems come. i hit the brakes car stops ( i fixed that) I do wide oped trottle, it stops ( i fixed that also) but then its all good till I start jumpin, i hit a jump it stops ( I sorta fixed that) This engine wont give me any speed at all in the begging it seemed alright, now it just terrrible. I'm so tired of this and suggestiones on what can be done?

..........P.S also in a while I'm getting an OS .18 cv-rx i heard their great and easier to tune and stuff!.......
