are the tanks back to back? If its not the slipper, the clutch might be heating up and slipping.

And THAT has WHAT to do with this conversation.[&o]

I would probably say the slipper or the clutch. Other then that I have not clue.

EDIT: Take and grab the spur gear and tighten the slipper nut ALL the way down. Then back off about a 1/8th to a 1/4 of a turn.

Get aluminum clutch shoes and a vented clutch bell. I run HPI's versions of both items and haven't had any issues.
