Viet,
If you dont have one, buy a temperature gauge so you can monitor the heat of the engine. Redcat engines like to overheat if they are even a little lean. Run it rich or tune for temperature with a temp gauge.

WOW ... yes, temperature gauge please ...
One time, I ran my brand new traxxas 2.5r engine all the way up to 400 degrees. Seriously. I forgot to check it haha, I was having so much fun leaning it out that it never crossed my mind --- until you could see heat-waves coming off it while driving ... hahaha .. But the point is it still ran great ! And started ok ... it didn't break !!! (33% fuel and super lean, you can only imagine, it wuold have pulled a car hahaha)
Anyways,,,,
The reason why I posted this reply is because I wanted to ask VietnamRC What kind of camera are you using ? That is a GREAT close-up picutre, non of my camera's will take a pic that close, that focused...

I've tried macro, and tried staying back and zooming in, too (optical not digital) -- but after you get to about 12" away it is all over .... ohh well...
