If this truck is new: adj the top end first, then adj the idle screw, where its almost going into gear, then set the low end, and finally set the idle from there again.
MAKE SURE YOUR TRANSMITTER IS NOT EFFECTING THE CARB ON BRAKING AND REVERSE,if it is, your wasting your time. Resolve this
so the transmitter doesn't kill or alter the engine rpm.
I live way down south: my settings are 3-3/4 out on the high end, and 3/4 out on the low end, go RICH from these settings if your north of me.
If its not new, your engine is toast! I just went through this with Traxxas. Totally pissed!

My buddies maxx has this very same problem.It will start fine and run fine for about 1/2 a tank and then it starts stalling and it gets hot and doesn't want to start again.The two of us have tried everything to get this thing running right and nothing has worked and it's not just my tuning ability either,even the guys at both of our local hobby shops couldn't do it either.If someone finds a way to tune this thing perfectly please let me know because this has been pissing me off since he got the truck and I feel bad because I recommended it to him.
