The motor is a Peak Racing Carrera 11x3 Modified (with adjustable timing), old style (V1?) endbell, standup brushes....quite old tech really, but new when I bought it not too long ago.

Have you checked the vibration spring at the base of the brush hood, as this can cause friction if not moving properly.
Has it got the surface mounted capacitors? as if one of these has gone that could cause your problem. Take both of them out and replace them with 3 standard 102K capacitors that you solder on.
How old are the brushes as the lubricant may have dried up causing the fluctuation in power.
Where have you got the timing set?
If you look at the timing marks on the motor, you want to be on the 3rd timing mark to the right.
