did you take out the slide? and see if you spring is bad. also i ve heard of just defective traxxas parts on brand new trux, anyway the sliude should be smooth. and the spring could be bad. check that out
mine sticks when the engine is not running. traxxas tech support says "its normal, when the engine is running the vibration from the motor keeps it moving fluidly"

mine doesn't
it doesnt always stick. only sometimes when opened and closed by pulling on the linkage and letting it go gently.

I had the same problem with the carb when I had the SportMaxx. Try cleaning it out with some kind of cleaning solution. Then try putting some white lithuim grease on the carb body and slide it in and out. See what that does for you. A good way of preventing this from happening is to make sure its always clean.....
