So I've been breaking in my new dbxl. Had a little few tumbles on second run and started to bog as soon as I accelerate but will still sit and idle fine. Left it for most of the day and took it out again after cleaning out the air filter from that we'll known problem. Had my worst tumble yet only enough to tip it and land on its roof which meant it sat upside down for about 10-20 seconds while I ran to save it. Went straight off fine but then started doing the bogging again but idle fine. So if I really try to go it'll just cut the engine. HELP PLEASE :) I wonder if it just needed to sit the right way up for a bit could have flooded the carb. Im new to 1/5 scale petrol :)
Also when it happened and I was trying to get it to go it would move a little bit if I half put the choke on but obviously didn't sound right or have any power.
It's baffled me anyway. Appreciate any knowledge.
 
Sounds like you have vapor lock in your gas tank. Sometimes when you flip the little hole in the gas cap gets clogged. Next time it happens while it is running unscrew the gas cap a little..this should work and equalize the tank and it should run just fine. You may also notice it won't start after you have this bogging problem as well. Unscrew cap and tighten...good to go. Lastly take the gas cap off and take apart and clean see your manual.
