flaming exhaust ok or not?
well today i just got done rebuilding my .15 stock nitro sport traxxas motor and i just was tuning the motor and when i pulled the starter a blue flame shot out only 4 a second but still i was scared crapless and so i did it a few more times and no flame!
then i let it sit and then it flamed out the exhaust again!! pardon me but what the hell is going on?!?! is it normal or is it totally screwed?

fir throwing nitro car? COOL!
seriously.. the ONLY way I can think of this happening is some serious predetonating. so bad its detonating before the port for the exhast is closed.
pull it apart... make sure the sleave is in the right way (maybe you got the intake and exhast switched)
thats the only thing I can think of...
oh... and if you can get vids

you took it apart right?? and cleaned it?? what did you clean it with?? Actually you can put the "PISTON" in backwards.. not the sleeve..... on the Piston, some times there is a hole where the pin is, and if it is in backwards... fuel WILL come out of it..... that could be your problem... plus you will never be able to start the engine either...
