thanks for the responses guys. Tried spraying wd40 around the backplate and carb and the engine didn't even sputter. I measured the pressure and fuel line. The pressure line is 14 inches and the fuel line is 13 inches with a fuel filter spliced in the middle. Long I know, but since the tank is mounted in the back of the car behind the rear axle, and the engine is mounted in the front, there's no way around it. Tried tuning on it again because I read somewhere that when you lengthen the fuel line, you tend to have to run it much more lean but it still died at about half throttle :/. Also the nitro line that i had was .02mm smaller in diameter. Wonder if its running out of fuel in the fuel line when I give it gas?
