Hi guys pretty new to 1/5 scale so bare with me and My Frustration at this current time .

Got the Truck a Few weeks back proper break in and Overal Truck "WAS" pretty solid .last night took it out and had Trouble from the Get go. Keep in mind have only had about 6-7 tanks through it and havE not touched any of the needles as truck was running fine . Well i started it up and started my Dilema !! It ran good for a few min then a noticed it started Accelerating itself little by little . After a good 10-15 min of that it started Bogging down. This kept on for about a full tank ..... Longggg story short after giving up on Tinkering with it i saw the little filter(forgot the name) thats inside the gas tank loose , as loose and wobbling around . So today i took truck apart and Now as soon as u start its litteraly like almost WOT (wide open throttle) what do i do ???

So Far
Checked and Changed the Spark Plug
Checked the Gas Cap , (just Snugged it did not Over tight it as recommended)
Checked with my buddys gas cap
Touched the High and Low speed needles
Pulled out the Carb inspected it (not much) and Tighten it
Drifferent Gas Mixtures (93octane 25-1) 89octane25-1
Also i notice a "BURNT" smell as with in sec of starting up, got a feeling it might be the clutch do to the WOT
 
Sounds like a broken clutch spring, engagement right from idle. Get those wheels off the ground, and see if it can be idled down without stalling. You will most likely have to replace the clutch shoes and or just the springs at the very least. Sorry.

If I lift it off the ground the wheels start spinning like a MOFO
 
I just had a very similar problem. If it's not the clutch check and see if your throttle or brake linkage isn't touching the motor or anything metal around the motor at all, even just touching by a hair. This caused some electrical interference in my servo which made it bug out intermittently. Do you have a fail safe? Make sure it's set properly. Originally when this problem surfaced for me it would WOT. But I didn't have my fail safe set, now it's set and will lock the brakes when it bugs out. Actually working through this issue now. I put some shrink tubing and electrical tape over my linkages and hoping tomorrow when I run it everything will be ok...... Check it out and let us know if it's the clutch or interference. Good luck.
 
If your nervous about it taking off on ya you could always disconnect the servo horn until you get things sorted out..... Also forgot to mention I've heard air leaks causing problems like you speak of. Check screws are tight being it's new i doubt any gaskets are bad but something could be loose.

Well guys after 2days of None stop Frustration , numerous Websites and Giving up HOPE . Even thought about running it over with my Work truck a few times . End up being the Fuel Clunker . Few hours ago i said let me change the line and i did and just drop them in the tank . WaLaaaa !! Runa like a champ . So that got solved but on the other hand 1 of my steering servos called it quits ......


Any sugestions for what to do about the clunker ? Order another one or is there a better one??

Thanks For All the HelpFull suggestions , GREATLY APPRECIATED
