Does anyone have any idea what would be causing my Tmaxx 1.5 to have oil ALL OVER the skid plate and rear diff area after I run it??
I finally got it runnin, and sitting still, oil comes out the muffler, and COVERS the entire tear half of the thing!
Is my motor blown, or do I have to run a higher % of nitro, or is it just runnin to rich or what???
Runnin 20% nitro
Thanks y'all.
 
It's hard to tell because of the amount of oil all over the place, but I believe it's coming from somewhere CLOSE to, if not THE, motor. :\

Also, I tried looking on YouTube for a vid to see if anyone else had this problem, but to no avail.

Okay. We got the point. Period. :D

Check your exhaust gasket first, and make sure the pipe is fitting properly.
Don't adjust your needles yet since the back pressure can also affect the tune. If you're blowing a lot of oil out of the muffler once it's been secured properly, that's when you lean the HSN.
