Default Strange Engine Problem

Hi! I got a duratrax axis, with the stock .21 motor. It has already been broken in by the previous owner with 8 tanks, and I have it idling fine, but this is my problem. When I start it up, it will idle fine, and then I give it some gas, and it goes good, but once i am at 75% throttle it seems great, but then I go to %100 and the engine bogs down, and almost cuts off if I don't let go. When I am done running, I shot off the engine/servos, and and with the carb at idle(when I turn it on), while still off, (but still hot), fuel seems to start to fill up the carb and boil over. Also, I can't ever start it up immediatly after shutting it off(aka restarting). It also always seems to flood. Can someone help me? The engine never gets hot(i don't have a temp gauge), but my spit almost never boils off the head. The clutch gets hot, and also the pipe too. Thanks a lot.- zack
