I did a little poking around on the www and I found that there are a couple huge threads for the Miss Vegas Duece over on RC Universe. It sounds like the fuel cap is letting out the pressure and making the motor lean out on the straightaways when the rpms are really high. I am going to add another spring to hold down the fuel cap. This would also explain all the fuel all over the front of the boat.

Apparently this is one of the last RTR nitro boats anybody makes anymore.
