If someone has asked this already sorry, the thread is so big I keep forgetting some things.

I just got my new buggy(rc8 rtr) it's my first nitro car. I tried to do the heat cycle break in, but my cart won't get over 180 with the factory settings. I've ran about 5 tanks through it so far, and have slowly been leaning out the high end. I may have got it about 3/4 turn so far. The idle seems perfect from what I've read, and it seems to have all kinds of power through the entire range. I've been running it in 50-60 degree weather.

Should I worry that my engine won't get in the 200's? Is it going to ruin my pinch if I never get the motot warmed up enough to get a good break in, or is everything alright if the buggy seems to be running good.
