I'd pull the carb, and seal it with sensor safe RTV silicone.

While the carb is off, I'd go through it and clean it out, and reset the needles to factory settings.

After 24 hours cure time, retune it and you should be good.

does it look like its coming from the front main bearing?.. after i clean my car and run in for a bit, i can see a little bit of something on my chassis right under the front main bearing. car still runs great though and i have not had the flywheel off to inspect the bearing. if thats it, you may need to buy a new bearing. just a suggestion, your carb may be clogged, every time i clean my motor, i put the rubber tip of the air blower on the fuel inlet and blow through the carb(with the carb off the motor so nothing gets to the crankcase) just to make sure its all free of debris since i dont have a fuel filter yet

I'm gunna rebuild it my mate said the bearings have gone and the shaft has play were the flywheel and cluch bell are wish me luck never rebuilt an engine b4

surely i dont have to take out piston aliner and basically strip it to get the baerings out

good luck...they're not difficult..I'm still really new to nitro and i've had my engine apart several times, but I'm used to working on 1:1 cars, so these things seem simple to me
