having some good old fashioned nitro issues..

car starts fine, idles fine, begins to take off fine (if i baby the throttle) but if any heavy throttle is applied, she bogs down. i figured it was time for a new glow plug, havent replaced it since i got the car, and its seen break-in plus 2 gallons of fuel. replaced the plug and still having the same issue. tried a clean air filter, nothing. no bubbles in the fuel line or anything.

the last time i ran the car, it didnt have this issue, and was tuned "decent"
never had a bogging issue. if anything, i had an overheating issue lol.
if anyone has any advice on where to start troubleshooting let me know please. the car only sat for 5-6 days since it last ran fine. i recently switched to odonnel 20%, from traxxas. should have never ever bought traxxas fuel i know...

side note..
i never broke down the center diff to loktite the set screw, only the front and rear. what symptoms should i look for as far as the center diff set screw coming loose? i remember the last time running, it would run great at first, shift perfectly and all, then begin overheating, and stuck in first gear i believe.

thanks for the help guys
