I have a new traxxas rustler. I have a slight issue with tuning. so When i start it up it runs ok with a good amount of smoke and after a while of running it will loose all power and acceleration with allot of blue smoke. allot of smoke means its too rich but sudden power loss means its to lean. but one thing is that smoke or steam comes from the engine.

Does this happen while accelerating from idle or when you are at speed?

um after im done and smoke comes of the engine and theres fule or something boiling by the glow plug and now it say the plug doesn't work anymore

Fuel boiling at the glow Plug, did you check to make sure the plug was tight? That could definitely cause some problems if it were loose.

Also make sure the copper/brass washer isn't missing from the glow plug.

When in doubt, go back to the original factory settings an re-tune. It's better to start rich and lean out then not have a clue where you are in the tune.
