Default Genesis running at high temp

Hello,

I'm hoping to get a little info on something that may help me with tuning the engine correctly. I have had the Genesis for about 3 weeks now. It's only had a half gallon of Trinity 20% nitro fuel run through it. The problem I'm having is I can't keep the engine from getting too hot and losing all power and eventually shutting down. I've tried richening it up, but it still continues. I've set the needles back to factory specs numerous times and tried dialing it in from there but no matter what fuel setting I adjust it to, it will always run hot. I don't have a temperature reader, but you can smell the heat and a drop of water will boil instantly. Any recommendations on what might be causing this ?

Also, is there any easy way to identify a third generation truck over a second generation? I'm skeptical on whether or not mine's a third generation like I was told when I bought it.

Thanks in advance !
