I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I have with my new nitro RC car.

I "run-in" the engine when I first got it, putting about 3 tanks of fuel thro it. The next day I took it out for a proper drive about, and ending up staying about 40mins driving it around. Towards the end if the drive the car suddenly lost any acceleration it once had. It now takes a little longer to start going and doesn't reach the speeds it use to. Its a 2 gear car. I'm thinking that it would probably be the clutch (plastic) or the gears, although to be honest I havn't really got a clue as this is my first ever nitro car. Anyone got any ideas what it could be?


i think it is the clutch spring
