Over-heating engine

[fatboy5]

My Nitro Stampede has a Pro.15 engine that keeps over-heating and will not start. My digital says high, meaning it's over 270 degrees. I richened the high speed but it didn't seem to help. How do I fix it?

The Pro .15 is a prone to be finicky engine. My first recommendation would be to take it apart and seal it. Then start over tuning with factory settings and tune it in. You really need a better temp gauge too,the Pro .15 runs best around 300*(that number is from the Traxxas manual too)

There's a tutorial on sealing around here, a quick search should find it easily.
