So my tmaxx starts fine, idles fine and will take off fine. Then after driving for about 10-15 seconds the engine will cut off. I have fresh fuel in it. Glow plug is good. Carb is at stock settings. Gear mesh is good. It has new shoes and spring. And it has new clutch pads and new spur gear. I don't know what the issue could be. Any ideas?

Does the car reach full, high rpms before it dies or is it bogging until it dies? Is your high speed needle adjusted?
Is your fuel tank clean? No gunk or debris causing a partial blockage?
Fuel lines totally clear? No cracks in the lines? Is your air cleaner clean and oiled?
Is your fuel tank sealed? No leaks?
How about condition of the return line from exhaust to the tank?
Is the muffler clear too? Not full of fuel or gunk?
Assuming the truck is a 2speed, is it def starting off in 1st gear, not stuck in 2nd?
