I bet his temps were close to 200 degrees right where he wants to keep them but does not truly know it because of a faulty gauge is all I was trying to get across.
Not true...I broke in a Losi 350 about a month ago and the first 2 tanks did NOT go over 120F unless I used a heat gun to get the temps up. The motor was just too tight to get moving enough. That combined with the slightly rich carb settings for break in just didn't give enough heat by simply driving the buggy around.
