Hello fellow Nitro freeks. I used the old school method of breaking in a SH .18 it runs great starts up quick but after it gets up to temp and i roll it or something causing it to stall I have to wait for it to cool down to below 100 degres befor it will start back up. After it cools down it fires right up and drives great.

That's a sign of being too lean. What's happening is the fuel is getting so hot inside the carb that the fuel is evaporting before it can be combusted and when it cools down, the fuel is able to be combusted. You should get the engine up to temp and then turn it off. Then reset the carb to factory settings and tune from there. If you're still having the same issue, then it's possible that you have an air leak somewhere in the system(fuel lines, tank lid gasket, exhaust gasket or exhaust coupler) or you may need to seal the engine.

^What he said^. It should start up hot if you hold it wide open, but I think it's lean also.
