New Baja 5b SS Problems!

Ok so I built me a 5b SS from a kit and I got it painted up.....good receiver pack....made sure I was running gas correct mixture....and I fired it up for the first time. It seemed to run ok I guess at first. It was a bit sluggish but I understand that is because it is a new engine and they are like that at first. About 2/3 through the first tank it start running strange and stuff starts coming out from behind the engine....nasty looking stuff. I have never had a nitro look like this. I am not sure it this is normal or not so I have attached a couple pictures.....any ideas of what this stuff is? It's all over the buggy! Notice I put it up on a box to keep the wheels off the ground because I don't want to get it dirty.

This boys and girls is called a Satire :hehe:


Looks like you had a blast. Really want one. Don't know if this electric thing will do it for me.
