    That's what i would do is reset to factory and retune. Is it a new engine? Because not starting until after it cools is a sign of a worn out engine.

    Easy-start or pull-start?
    I've found that a hot engine is sometimes tough with a pull-start.

    How hot are you running? If you bought it used you need to re set to factory settings and re tune. It needs to be tuned to the area you're in.

    Your piston and sleeve sound worn out. It runs till it gets hot and stalls because when it's hot it loses compression and won't start again till it cools down. Time to trade engine to traxxas or just buy a new one off eBay. You can just rebuild yours also with a new sleeve/piston set for about $49 but if your bearings are rough as well you will save time and money buying a new replacement engine.
