Proper Temperature for Engine??

Hey,
I have an O.S. CV-RX .15 in my T-Maxx. It was broken in properly but seems to run awfully hot. I would say anywhere from 270-300. The problem is that if I richen it up either place (low or high) it kills the performance big time, stalls and has no top end. I have alot of experience with airplane engines but these are a different breed. I'm running Eliminator 20% nitro with 18% oil. Any suggestions or experience is welcome.
Thanks,

Kodiak :confused:

You have other problems as well! What your telling is is only half the story!

How about when you first start it? How does the engine run then? If it has no top end and stalls, it sounds like its lean.

I suspect that the needle may be bad or you have an air leak in the carb?
