I don't really want to put a new engine in it. If I can find that it's leaking I'll call Traxxas and have them replace this one.
You shouldn't be tunning if you don't understand how to. The factory setting are close but open the high 1/2 turn more and you will be fine.I doubt the engine is leaking as it's new. Check the fuel lines first then the do a blockage test to make sure engine is getting fuel. Check the plug to make sure glows yellow. Make sure when starting glow ignitor is functioning properly. The starter wand/ ignitor box can fail. Again, No fuel no fire engine won't run. Nitro engines can get messy with the excess oil spraying around. Make sure when starting to prime the engine first. to start or until engine pops off.
