problem is alot of them don't know crap anymore.
When I 1st got my nitro I did just like you said and went to the hobby shop, and was given some pretty bad advice. Main thing I was told a nitro motor should hit around 350F... good advice to royally screw up an engine...
that is really good advise on their part. they wanted you to run at 350 so the engine would need replaced and they get more money.
not really they didn't carry any on-road engines so they wouldn't get the cash anyways :P
they deal with almost strictly planes
it was a used RC and the engine turns out pinch was shot anyways (it never even got to 200F without dying). But yea I knew the guy was full of it cause I did a bit of research on nitro and read the proper temps here b4 hand. 1st thing I ever asked was why does the engine keep cutting out
