Why won't they idle down? What's hot? Couldn't that be something else causing a idle problem? I don't see how a few degrees higher suddenly caused an idle down problem.

Well I hope a modded racing engine hits higher rpms than a rtr from hpi.

I haven't seen my cheap slow rtrs run much cooler at all from 16 to 10%. Surely 6% should be noticed. But it slowly climbed right up to 250s regardless. If anything was still rich.

I get the theory....but I'm not able to make it happen. Both tuning for decent power to keep it fair. The same tune on 16% going to 10 I had to turn in the HSN solid 1/4 turn to get it to hit a good rpm. Did that today with one tank. I suppose it ran slightly crispier. But the small difference doesn't hurt a basher at all. After a tank and a half I checked temps and was about the same as usual.
