I had a similar problem with my s-maxx when I got it in that it would run at about 270F even at 21 degrees(C) temps. I used dremel to cut out air vents and made the engine hole bigger and problem doesn't really come up any more.

It may also be that you also need to go through the adj process of HSN and LSN and idle setting. Use the manual otherwise do a search on the traxxas forum to get tips on tuning.

Don't beat yourself up its not worth it, just have another try with tuning because when the trx 2.5 is tuned it rocks. It does sound like that it is running a bit lean.
