Default Weird problem

I have a factory team rc10gt. I use an MIP 4-n-1 clutch assembly, in case that's of any relevance.

Here's the problem i'm having and have yet been able to figure out what it is. But i assume it's clutch related.

When i first start the car (cold start), the engine idles fine, everything is cool. The car stands still, maybe a TINY bit of forward roll.

After about 10 minutes of driving, or once the engine gets hotter...once i apply the brake and the car stops, if i let go of the brake the car wants to take off about 1/3 throttle.

Any ideas what causes this? So essentially from a cold start the car stands still, though later on i can't keep it under 10mph without constantly applying the brake.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

O.S. .18cv-r as well.

I'd try fattening (richening) the low end some, that will lower the idle. It sounds like it is leaning out some after the motor warms up. A new plug might help too, I have had semi-bad plugs make weird stuff happen.

Sounds like you need to fully warm the engine and chassis before final tuning, get it warmed up before you tune because it should start up a little rich and get to the final tune when everything is at temp.
Guys try and tune cold, then they will say "it needs to cool down" and that's total BS, you should be able to run all day on a good tune.

RCU has determined because of ONE GUY that was a member of my forums for one month that I can't post links or type my forums name in their forums, I'd love to further help you but RCU does not permit that.[:@]

That was at least a year ago, and I've tried to get the nitro carnage name reinstated.
