Are you off the throttle when the engine cuts out?

I was going to mention the idle setting as well. Also check to make sure the carburator is secure. If it is loose it will cause it to cut out as well.

The problem is that the idle setting is way to high because when i let the throttle off the Revo takes of at a bit faster than waking pace is this normal???

Well, your idle gap should be about 1mm or so. Your LSN may be too rich, or your clutch shoes might be worn or the spring might be broke.

It's probably in the tune, richen up the LSN and check the IDLE gap

Faulty fuel tank, broken fuel line, tuning issue, carb issue, clutch issue, ...............................

Could be a few things. I'd suggest cleaning the truck thoroughly, and inspecting everthing. Pull the engine out, check the clutch bearings, shims, shoes, and the carb. The only way you'll figure out a problem now or in the future is to work on it.
