BROKEN NEEDLE HELP

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY MY HIGH END NEEDLE ON A TRAXXAS PRO .15 NITRO MOTOR HAS BROKEN TWICE IN TWO DAYS. IT'S BEEN IN THE UPPER 20'S AND 30'S. WOULD AIR TEMPERATURE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT?

RE: BROKEN NEEDLE HELP

Cold makes metal brittle. Bumping or vibrating cold metal makes it fracture. Broken or loose engine mounts lets a cold needle valve bang into things. Any or all of the previous is likely the problem.
