Default Truck Moves with no throtle

Hey guys, my T-Maxx 2.5 has been running pretty good, but over the weekend I had it out and it would run fine on a high speed and when I would turn it around, it would stall out. What could be the problem? Then last night, it wouldn't start, after adjusting the high speed need it started, but once I drove it off and let go of the throtle, the truck would continue going forward. If I put on the brake it would hold still, its almost like the linkage has been adjusted. I tried adjusting all three needles, but nothing helped. I am lost, please help.

Its the tuning. Take a look at this video, I know its not the same truck but its the same concept.

You're too lean on the LSN or something in the clutch is rubbing (spring broke or end rubbing the bell or if you are running aluminum shoes they maybe mushroomed)

Yeah, if the tuning and idle are good then it's likely a clutch issue.
