Oil coming out of the engine?
I have an ofna ravager, the engine is a .28 and I use 20% odonnel. The engine started to leak out a black thick grease-type substance. It comes from the flywheel area and the backplate area. I took apart my car recently and took off the backplate, cleaned up the oil and today it did the same thing. It never did this before, what's wrong?

RE: Oil coming out of the engine?
It sounds like your bearing's might be starting to go. This happens sometimes and the only thing you can really do is replace them. I had this happen to two of my engines from the back plate but just ran them and I didnt notice any performance loss. But if you like to keep a nice clean rc then you might want to consider replaceing the bearing then.
