RC10 stalls when headed up hill or after a fast run...
Kind of strange. I have an RC10GT with an OS.12 engine. My street is a slight incline, and I can drive slowly all over the place, but when I get to the top of the hill and haul ***** down and then turn around to come back up, the engine ALWAYS stalls.....What could cause this? Almost seems like maybe the gas isn't reaching the carb when the car's at an angle or something.....Thanks.

that isn't the fuel, that is your piston sleeve expanding away from your cylinder and dropping compression to almost nothing. castor oil will allow an engine to do this, whereas synthetic burns off at a lower temp and the engine may sieze up before it stalls.
