After 5 minutes of hard driving temp it again, then also use a drop of water or spit down by the plug to see if it sizzles. If the water sizzles off your more up around 220-230 and the temp gun is wrong. If it i still cool lean it some more till you have good power and temps up over 200.
Chris, most of the time i'm just taking it easy on the buggy. i don't race, i mainly drive it up and down my street and in my yard. what you said about leaning it up i have already tried, and when the LSN/HSN is almost too lean, the temps still don't get over 200 F. i never thought about my gun, its a duratrax flashpoint, about 3 yrs old, maybe it is inaccurate nowadays...
