Default Engine Overheating on Tmaxx

I know this may have been discussed before but, I am using a Flashpoint Temp Gauge, and during the second tank I read the Temp and it was 323 Farenheit, what do I do?

Go to factory needle settings then put a cold glow plug in there then tune it and watch it knock a load of your temp and run better, also make sure you got that wind screen cut out. If you are running under 300 i'd say dont' worry, its a race engine its always running on the hot side.

the gas tank is not in the way. you need to use a small screwdriver, like a .5 jewlers flat head.
