Full throttle would stall the car...any suggestions.
Just got it tuned up at my local hobby shop and it ran fine for about 10 minutes and then it stalled... Then I had trouble starting the engine and waited a few minutes.. the engine would start again... Now.. a full throttle would instantly stall the engine........ Any suggestions.......

Your HSN is way too lean. Richen the HSN.

Does the stall occur when you are stopped and pull full throttle fast? Or is it fine all the way up until you just get to full throttle?
What kind of temps are you reading, hows the amount of smoke coming out of the engine?

What you need to do is take it back to your LHS since they are now responsible for your tune.If you go fiddling around behind him and dont know what youre doing,the damage is on you.Let your LHS guy continue to tune and any damage to the motor will be on him[>:]

I have never seen a motor bog down at top speed from a rich HSN. It wont even reach top speed, and if its that rich it will mosst likely die at idle or take off.

The problem is like this:
I got my car tuned and took it to a baseball diamond and ran it for about 6 minutes. Then, it stalled... I could not start my engine.... After letting it cool down for about 1 minute or so.. I could start my engine again......Then after another 5 minutes or so...it would stall again......Then the same thing happened. Had to let it cool.
Called the LHS, they told me that glow plug is too warm..... He also told me to adjust the HSN counter clockwise 1/4.. I did that... Now it can't even run for 2 minutes before it stalled......
I will just take it back to my LHS and let them deal with it.
By the way... it is a brand new engine.. Completed the break in procedure 2 days ago...
Any suggestions/comments on this problem

Nitro vehicles require patience and a willingness to learn how to tune engines and troubleshoot. If you have neither, sell your nitro truck and get an electric vehicle.
Does the engine stall after you let it idle for a while and then pull the throttle quickly? If this is the case, your low speed needle is too rich and fuel is building up in the crankcase. When you pull the throttle, the glow plug can't ignite the excess fuel and your engine will stall.

if your engine is stalling on full throttle and blowing glow plugs you are too lean. when you make adjustments to the needles do them in small incraments so you dont pass the engines sweet spot. Read the manual that came with the car two or three times do you understand how to tune the engine.
