about two weeks ago. This is my first one. I got past break in and now i am waiting for a new glow plug. The truck has been sitting for about 3 days and i noticed one maybe two drops of some fluid coming from the muffler. Is this normal?
 
Yup. Perfectly normal for a Nitro vehicle, especially when new and you are running it rich. You will have a bunch of raw fuel coming out the exhaust pipe. Once you get a better tune on it past break in...this will lessen quite a bit.

Thanks, this calms my nerves a bit. Thought i already destroyed it.

What kind of truck did you get? Start a thread about it and we can give ya some tips to get 'er dialed.:)

It's an Exceed monster truck with .18engine. I know from reading some of these threads that these aren't the best nitro trucks but it being my first one i didn't want to go out and ruin a 400 dollar vehicle right off the bat. I feel alot more comfortable learning on this one and if i break it or pull a noobie on it that's what it is for. jmho


Already have ideas for the next one tho:D
