What a day! Got about 1/2 a quart of this Traxxas %20 through earlier and I think I like it better than the Trinity Horsepower %20. The little Vx.18 seems to run cooler with the same amount of power and takes to tune easier. So heres my question for other Tornado XP owners who have a temp measuring device (I use a venom smart temp failsafe). What is your average "putting" temps and what is your average hard run temps? Mine seems to teder between 240-260F (and its high 70's/low 80's today,a nice warm day) just cruisin around and still shoots up to 270-290F if I get alot of high speed passes in (I run in a paved parking lot surrounded by dirt&gravel areas). She's got some gusto,takes off quick and raps out with force and spits plenty of blue smoke on the throttle while only spitting a slight amount of unburnt goo while idling. I pinch the fuel line about 2" from the carb and it takes 5-6 seconds to die and the RPM's only increase a minor amount before it dies so In my mind,I think I have a pretty decent tune on it... Wouldnt you say? It still runs a bit hotter (no way your keeping this thing under 250F unless its idling which sits right at 218-220F in the sun with the body on). Maybe it just likes to run a bit hotter I guess... Its fast! Hella fast! And when you run it out of go juice and let it cool down to... Oh say 140-150F it'll fire right back up with the glow ignitor on for only 5-6 seconds and wont stall out.

Does it sound like its tuned 'ok'? Should I try running a cooler plug (currently running Duratrax Carbon speed) to help lower temps? Any idea's or suggestions? This thing is &100 leak proof to,the engines been sealed,lines and filter replaced&checked,gas tank sealed and exhaust de-baffled+gasketed and no leaks in/on or around the manifold.... Sound ok? Advice?....

These things are just way to much fun!
