Chris,

That is normanl for a nitro engines since the 2cycle fuel as oilin it for lubrication. You could tune the engine alittle leaner but you will cause overheating.. Oil and grungy nitro vehicles are the norm.


Hope this helps!!

just lean out the engine and use 16% i have same car these engine are very strong they can be ran pretty lean without damage especily at low revs also the exhaust points down whereas most other cars point out so it wood not be noticed on other cars , also as long as u have slight ( blue ) smoke @ all rev range u cant go wrong. i use AT RACING 16%

streaks are normal- if your parents don't like it on the driveway try pointing the pipe out sideway instead of down.
