Air Leak Questions.
My stock revo runs hot. I have the idea that it may be because of an air leak from what I have read around here. How do you check? WHERE do you check? Are there any spots where any of you just typically put some type of sealant to combat the leaks?

RE: Air Leak Questions.
Ok there are numerous places that coud have air leaks and i will try to name them 1 by one
1 your fuel tank may have an air leak or may not be sealing properly when the lid is closed
2 either of your fuel lines may have small holes in them
3 your engine carb between the crankcase and the carb setup
4 your slicone tubing between the pipe and the header
Thats all i can think of right now i think theres more that other people may be able to tell you.

Ok just tighten everything down, tighten the backplate, push the fuel lid closed and make sure it seals, replace your fuel lines, tighten your hsn housing, loosen the nut off for your carb and then push it so it pops/click into place and tighten the nut back up, tighten your engine head screws down and finally check your silicon tube piece for any holes.
