if i leave it itll stall at high speed and run at 295

keep hsn where itll run at 255 and slowly lean the lsn if that doesnt work then start back at factory settings then c what u need from there always make sure there is a good smoke trail when accelerating also there is a pinch test to see if lsn is set correctily search the forum or search nitro pinch test with Google

yes there is a good smoke trail.
when i test the temp i put my duratrax temp gauge touching the zipties on the cylinder head pointin towad the glow plug and it reads say 255
if i put it pointin at the glow plug outside the cylinnder head about level with the carb it will read about 25 degrees cooler. which place is correct?
