3. 300 degrees is way to high for any engine im sure the losi engine should only be around 260 MAX but like i said i dont know the engine at all.
All Alpha engines run around 280. OS VG/RG run at 260-270, some engine do run hotter than others, def depending on elevation and humidity and other factors. i have seen quite a few losi 350 engines run around 270 and some run at 220. it just depends, if it runs great at 270 and has good smoke and power, it wont hurt it.
