Hi guys, i have axe rossi sport and i'm having problems with its temperature keeps increasing.
The motor was brand new when i got it and i've used the heat cycle break in method where i run the motor for 3 minutes with low throttle and for a total of 25 to 30 minutes.
but now i'm having a problem with the temperature of the motor keeps increasing to around 145 degrees celcius before i shut the motor down.
I have a very visable trail of blue smoke when accelerating and also when i pinch the fuel line at idle it will increase rpm and then die in about 3 seconds later.
i've tried adjusting the LSN but i think its already running very rich, anymore and the car starts to splutter and makes it sluggish when taking off.

The only thing i can think of is the way my temps measured, i don't have a thermometre but i use the thermosensor on the dx2s receiver and i have no idea how accurates at those high temps, it usually reads about 4 degrees hotter than room temp.

thanks.
