Welcome all depends on why and how long
Are you tunning or flat out running. The nitros are made for high rpms.

Without a load on the engine it will damage the engine. If you're just talking about running WOT a lot then it will be fine as long as you have a proper tune and watch your engine temps.

I don't have a lot of experience with nitro engines, but my dad worked on a lot of 2 stroke engines for weed eaters, chainsaws, etc. He said it wasn't good to just hold the throttle open for long periods without a load on them. Same goes automotive engines, which is why there are rev limiters on them. Without a limiter - boom. So I would have to agree with Greywolf here.

Just running it flat out

Yeah like wolf said above. You can as long as you have a good tune. And the gearing is good. And won't over heat and stress the motor. I mean I have 4 nitros. I go WOT. And I haven't had a problem. I'm not doing laps in a 5 acre field. Running the whole tank WO.

Carry a temp gun and take temps at the bottom of the cooling head inside where the glow plug is. Dont let the engine go over about 260ish degrees
