I just curious what others were running for temps. I have a Losi 8 buggy and i'm running 30% fuel but I'm running around 270 and its really rich. Any Ideas? Thanks

High temps and rich running are classic symptoms of an air leak. However, 270 in and of itself is not an outrageous temp. Most people will say keep it under 250, some even say over 230 is bad, but it's old wives tales. I say tune it for performance first, then check temps, if it's under 290, go for it, but keep an eye on it.

I agree with foxy42.

I tune to both performenc and temp, I get it running good then check temp but sence both my engine have 1 gallon or less, I'm not at full race tune

You do not have even a gallon through either of your STS engines yet? Most times when I break in engine I have a gallon through them in a couple of days. Have been know to break in 2 new engines in a week and use 2 gallons plus.

yeh,
sence I don't race I'm not in a big hurry to get them broke-in, but I think I habe a few tanks over a gallon through my 21, but I have only half a gallon through my 30.

I let the engine cool between every tank, I got half gallon through my 30 in about 2 afternoons. and with work, the veary HOT weather, my engine modding, and school starting back soon. the main thing is I just don't want to get out in the HOT sun. my Dad found a heat index chart, and the heat index around here is any where from 120-130F

I know what you mean about the heat and is why I have not race since round 7 of the Georgia Championship Series August 4th. Will not matter what the weather is like September 1st since it is the last round of the GCS and I all ready made the other 7 rounds but will spend much of my in our AC pit trailer. We are going to start building a pro track but I told my partner not till it cools down. I go through about 12 to 15 gallons a year or more. Thank God for sponsors.

I'll ditto that!
