Default airbubbles in fuel line

when i give full throttle on my nitro 15fe i can see air bubbles going up the fuel line to the carb and the motor bogs down after two seconds at full throttle ,the fuel tank is 1/4 to full and it does it whether or not the car is driving on the ground or on a stand
(off the ground) . is this normal?

Replace the fuel tubes first and see what happens.

Don't know about the truck motors as much but in my planes I put a fuel filter in the line to buffer the bubbles out.

fuel lines would be the 1st place to start, also, vibration might be making your fuel foam when it gets low. Put some o-rings on the tank mounts to lessen the vibration, just don't tighten them too tight.
