your probably running the engine too lean, thats why your burning plugs out. get the os a3, a great cheap plug: http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s...A3-plug/Detail

PA's not that far from NY, lol. I dont sell redcats and i am not a dealer, just here to help out. If you want to race, pick up the monsoon, if you want to race, bash and have a great time, get the avalanche, its a good racer and great jumper

make sure its not coming from the carb . If not then your front crank bearing might be shot.

i agree with dennis, sounds like a bad front bearing, usually fuel will leak when shot between the engine and flywheel.
