after half a tank my rustler stops and u have to prime the engine to get it going again. At first i thought it was an over heating problem but it does this even when cool. when u get it going again it will only run if you thrash it and if u back of the throttle at all it stops. What i did notice was that when the tank is full and u keep it pretty much full, (refilling every minute or so) it doesn't have this problem and goes like a bullet, will take of quickly and will idle sweetly.
I'm thinking that its isnt getting fuel and guessing i have an air leak somewhere and the pressure from the exhaust wont feed the fuel to the carb. Quick check on the pipes and they are fine so I'm guessing its the fuel tank but after a quick look i dont see any fuel leaks, going to take it apart later tonight and have a closer look. What I'm also wondering is if there was a problem with the exhaust would this also cause problems???
