Do these threads describe your problem?
What can you do? fugetaboutit. Trash the Traxxas and replace with a quality engine.

anywhere from the cap on the tank to the exhaust pipe. check your cap, fuel tank, fuel lines, carb, engine, header, and pipe. its usually the engine though but, you should still check everything.

RE: t-maxx overheating.
either too lean or air leak...right now seems to be the only things that fit, unless its bad bearings or something putting extra stress on the engine
