okay so i have a nitro traxxas rustler. When i start it, it will run for a minute but will bog down if i pull full throttle. Then about 1 minute later it will just cut off. Can anyone hel me?
 
Does sound like a tuning issue... Reset back to factory and richen up from there or lean as needed... Should solve your issues
 
was it broke in properly??? when was it last tuned??, mate i have 2 traxxas and they are nightmares to tune but trust me once u get them running sweet ul never look back. id would check the low speed needle, tighten it up a bit (clockwise) and see if that sorts the bogging. what u can do as well (some people might say this is silly) is screw the idle screw in full so the revs are pretty high, that should stop it from stopping, do ur high speed runs so u can set ur high speed needle and once ur happy with that re set the idle and work on ur lowspeed needle
