When the car is of the track after the run,and I run it on the starter box when still hot the problem is gone.
I guess I will have to strip the engine completely to check if I can see something wrong.
You blowing smoke when you accelerate? Just a bit is alright. What the temp of engine at normal running. If that alright you just have to do some maintenance on the clutch you have. it sounds like the clutch shoes may need some deglazing. Small thing you may look at. Centax style clutches are sensative with dirt and glazing.
What TX are you useing?? Does have servo speed you can adjust?? Slowing down the speed of the throttle may help. and propapbly rectify half the trouble you have.
From off idle, 1/3 throttle to Idle speed stop. It drop speed right away. Try adjusting LSN so it drops so idle speed 1/2 second to 1 second
