Your settings look fine.You need to go through and check for binding,bad solder connections or joints and Im not sure what kind of battery your using but make sure your not using the birdcage bullets because they will cause heat.Also make sure your pinions not rubbing the KH motor mount.Just a few things to start with im sure someone will chime in with more.

That all sounds fine, but running in the yard isn't really good on a race truck. It will get hot pretty quick doing that.

My SCTE has been driving me nuts. I bought it used from another guy and every time I drive it it feels edgy. I think the best way to describe it is it feels like I have very little side bite in the rear.
I am using the LOSB0127_Setup_Dunford-02_12 setup except I have 30wt in the shocks. I have blue springs on the front because I can't find my black springs! Currently at 573 diff fluid. SC4x 4.5 geared 15/40 (need to gear down because this is too fast for my track). I am using AKA Cityblocks (unknown compound) with what feels like harder than AKA red foams. It has the TLR chassis with a long plastic chassis brace (i.e. not the stock one).
I have experimented with 332, 553, getting rid of the extra droop on the shock eyelets, going to crazy low ride height 21mm front 26 rear, and a few other things. The truck still feels edgy at after all changes. I'm a good 2wd buggy driver so I'd like to think it's not my driving!
My friend's nearly box stock SCTE feels more neutral and drivable. He is at 535, AKA Super Soft gridirons with red foams, 30wt in whatever the stock pistons are, literally stock everything else. The only think I can remember that he has different is his rear hub camber link is inside and mine is outside.
Could this long winded problem just be a tire thing or could it be related to the TLR chassis and long chassis brace? Any ideas?

+1. Just what I was about to say. Running through grass is about the hardest strain you can put on electronics. No way one can judge temps doing that.

so i took the rear drive shaft off and it still made the noise. so i took the front one off as well and it still did that, i think meaning its the center diff? how can i tell if the bearings are bad or the diff is. i spin the diff and bearings by it self and it and it seems to spin fine with no drag or noises. im so confused with this problem. the car was brand new and i have never ran it before and it was doing it since i started it up for the first time. but it only makes that noise when i go full throttle from a dead stop. thx again!

Great. Something else that's not needed for this truck. Maybe for the few running an 1/8 scale system. Never had a problem with stock plastic pieces and I'm on my third truck. How about some new diff cases with bearings to support the wobbly outdrives? King headz already took care of the center diff for us.

what exactly happes as far as handling when you change the Ackerman linkage from long to short or vise versa. What are the handling differences that I should expect between the two?
