I just got a rs4 and I started breaking it in after idling it for two tanks i put it on the ground and drove it around there was a bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust and fuel was also spitting out from the exhaust. I have the standard exhaust and a 15fe engine.
Sometime it takes quite a while for the engine to start and the glow charger and glow plug are charged and work, there are no leaks.
Pls can someone give me detailed info on what to do.

I am assuming that you are new to nitro. If not please ingnore post
That is all normal stuff. The break in process is very frustrating on some cars. Fuel will alwayss spill out of the exaust and smoke is a good thing when You are breaking in the engine. Once you break the engine in (about 6 tanks of slow or idle) you should tune the engine so you have visible smoke at full throttle. at this point your car will start after about 2-3 pulls. You also have to becarful when you prime you engine. at soon as you see the gas hit the engine stop primming it. If it becomes hard to start(pull start if hard to pull) take out the glow plug and turn the car upside down and pull the starter a few time.
