Run-away during break-in?
So i started breaking in my new engine that I received from cen finally, and on maybe the 10th minute of the heat cycle in when I was starting my truggy it went WOT on a box with the wheel of the ground for maybe 10 seconds. The temp went from the 80's when i started it to 165 right after the little escapade, so did i do any long term damage to my engine? I started it up and it runs fine.

You might want to get a fail safe. It will prevent these behaviors due to radio issues. Heres what I recommend on getting- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHLV3&P=7
Its cheap and it worked better for me than the venom temp/failsafe.
