After a day of bashing I tried to do one more tank and I started it and it ran for about maybe two seconds and then it stalled. I let it cool for about 10 minutes. I tried it again but it just did the same thing as before.
 
I'd swap the glow plug with a new one and try 'er again. Look at your current glow plug and try to determine why it failed(if it did). If it's dry and burnt looking, your a little lean. If it's wet, your a little rich. If it's grey, your tuned pretty well.
 
my tmaxx 3.3 runs for a little while not a whole lot of power (wont wheelie) then when i come to a stop sometimes it stalls, what can i do?
 
Hey schmeh...is your carb gap set 1mm from fully closed? Apply your brakes when the motor is not running. Make sure that gap doesn't close all the way. Ya need air going in there at full brake too. Check your glow plug.

Check your carb settings. Sounds like the stalling when braking problem is due to a faulty carb setting. Make sure you have approx 1mm gap from the end of the barrel and the body of the carb.

and just set there and adjust the settings until you get it to idle correct, then start fine adjusting the truck from running it.

Depending "no wheelie" comments i would venture to say you are running either way to rich, or WAY to lean. IF you have plenty of smoking coming out of the stinger try leaning it out, if you have no/little smoke i'd trying to richen the carb settings.
