I am running the RS with a Tekin 17.5 in my new TCX, everything is new and working beautifully except that every run over 3 min the motor temps at 190 to 210 deg. I have tried gearing from 5.8 to 7.0, stock end bell timing (14 deg) all the way down to 0 deg, boosts from 50 down to 35, turbo from 10 to max and nothing helps. I don't run push or drag, use little to no brakes during a run. Outdoor 160 x 70 FT track (Speedworld)
Current settings:
208
Boost 35
Turbo max
motor 10
delay .02
2 deg
RPM settings 2990 to 14998
Gearing 6.8 FDR
came off the track at 196 DEG....

Motor is strong and fast until about 3 min into run then gets hot and I drop about 2 seconds per lap... I was told to get differend brand motor but don't want to give up on my Tekin yet... Any ideas??????
