I just bought a Durtrax Axis,

I have been running the engine in and it seems to overheat quickly what can I
do about that.

Give it more fuel.
Richen up both the main needle and the idleneedle.
Turn them counterclockwise, but not more than 1/8 each time, and test the
engine for each adjustement.
Also cut coolingholes in the carbody. Then air can flow freely over the
coolinghead.

On my Kyosho I went from the original plug to a OS#8 plug, and is under the
impression of that it now runs a bit cooler. Ain't sure, but could be ?
Anyone having thougts of that ?

Could be the new plug is a colder plug. Gotta watch this though because it
effects engine timing also.
