Got the required 1/2 mm play for the CB and I re greased the bearings and am about to clean up the shoes with my dremmel. Any other tips or things to look at that could cause this? Best description I can give is that it acts like a stick shift car that shifts into a low gear, like 1st or 2nd automatically after letting off the throttle. Clutch problem? engine bearing? Im running the stock losi 8t 2.0 clutch set up and a picco evo 2.

Sounds like your tune is too lean not allowing the engine to drop back to an idle which is not allowing your clutch to disengage.

Start by richening the bottom a couple hours.
