I have an Hpi RS4 Type SS. Lately I've been having problems with my engine, when it is at full throttle, it starts to choke and sometimes just stalls. If its idling, its fine. I tried cleaning my fuel lines and carbs, and it still does it. Anyone have an idea why it could be boggin like this?
 
bogging is due to whether... condensation in the air... you can always richen it up... or lean it ... either way will fix the problem...
 
Catman,
What you describe sounds like a highspeed "lean" condition. Turn the HS needle an eighth of a turn counter-clockwise and run the car at full speed. Continue to "richen" the mixture (a little at a time) until the "bog" is gone.
