sounds alright to me. I am not sure what the problem is. Maybe more details will help?

my pipe was extremely hot for my liking,i put a drop of spit on it and it sizzled like a frozen turkey in a deep fryer,did the same for the cylinder head and it barely sizzled or bubbled..warm-hot to the touch.
something just seems a little off to me but it was running fine so i dont know if im being over concerned about this.
mugen mbx5r buggy-engine has just under a gallon and the 9886 inline set about the same using byrons 20% gen2.
i also have a hyper 8.5 pro with the same motor/pipe combo and have not experienced this.

The pipe is not a heatsink. It's aluminum but not finned so the head cools quickly, the pipe does not. Plus exhaust temps are always very high. Somewhere on youtube is a video of an F1 car without the bodywork being fired up at night. Just sitting there at idle and getting revved up occasionally it still turns the headers white hot.

Check out Massivemods.com, Mark has info
on the site about the proper shimming of
nitro motors. He explains about running too
much head button shim for the nitro content
that is ran. It causes very high pipe temps
and low head temps. Bodies melting is also
a good sign of this condition.
