I assume you mean when the wheels are off the ground right? Your idle is probably set too high. you want your idle to be set so that the car doesn't move forward when idling but not set so low that the engine dies when you apply the brakes. You have to find the happy medium.

if its a bigger engine than the others they should spin faster...
like my savage X's 4.6 spun way faster than my MT-2's .15
as long as the temps aren't going over 240 its fine. I personally wouldn't play with the settings when breaking it in

Not necessarily at all. It all depends on the gearing. I bet a race rc10 gt2 wheels spin faster than the savage due to the gearing. Or the jato's wheels spin faster since it gets that thing up to a crazy high speed. All depoends on the gearing.
