    Is my engine overheated?

    I ran my car like 12 tanks already... and this happens since last 3 tanks (previous 9 tanks, i was troubleshooting the engine coz of the irregular and low rpm).

    When i ran it just now.. it was fine.. fast, good torque.. bla bla bla... then after using up quater of the tank, the rpm would be like normal, then low, then normal again... then low again then died...

    What could be the problem here? Overheated?
    I know Singapore is a damn Humid and Hot country...

    rich up the bottom end and change the plug.

    after you run in the engine always change the plug.

    make sure your pressure tube is not stuck or clamped.
    i'm a rc sotong. And i know nuts about it.

      Hmmmm....looks like there's a crowd of RS4MT2 here!

      Idling too low?
      For some people it's important to show what they have, for others it's sufficient to know that they have it.

                    I have exactly the same issue previously on the MT2 - when on high, the engine is running real shiok iniitially then either dies or goes inconsistent after a run of 15mins. Then I richen the high and its ok.... Now... when the engine just starts, it takes a couple of minutes to go to good power but after the warmup the thing is performing well.

                      I got a over-heating problem too, mainly cause by the high nitro content I am using (25%). Want can I do to compensate it? use a colder plug? I already blew 2 plugs within the 800ml of nitro... (1 stock + 1 OS8).
                      huh

                        on my MT2 when I went up to 20%, I made the high needle richer to compensate. Was not terminally overheating but if I stop the engine had to wait about 5 minutes before restarting. If keep refueling can go on for more than 5 tanks with no problems. But wanted to slow down the MT2 via a richer setting (due to retarded fingers) so I did the tuning when I went to 20%.

                        I only had 1 plug change after 2 bottles of fuel (the bigger one but dunno in terms of quarts).

                          Im using 25% as well.. Thats what Tai Sing recommend me...
                          I think i need to change the plug coz I havent changed mine.

                          What glow plug u all recommend?

                            I tot my MT2 manual suggests 20%. Already that is really fast for me. Maybe you guys got more nimble fingers......
