What do you mean with excessive? My NT18 also leaks some fluid from the front bearing, here is a picture after 2 tanks of fuel. But it doesnot harm the engine in anyway, nor does it influence the power of the running of the engine, so I think there is no problem at all... A bit of fuel leaking out of the frontbearing: so what? It will not raise any problems....

As I own many RC-Cars I know that some engines leak, some don't... The once that leak most of the time only leak for a short periode of running. Mostly the leaking stops after a few tanks of fuel, when the bearings are set and the whole engine is ran in...

yeah, that is exactly what happens to mine, and that is excessive by my standards. Hey X-Ray any ideas. maybe a pruduct update with a high speed sealed ceramic bearing? or do you guys consider that normal. any info would be great. im sending the motor back on monday. soi we will see what happens to the new one

I dont know if im one of the lucky ones or what but my nt18 doesnt leak at all but also have only run 3 tanks of fuel through it. Has anyone started out like this and it progressed? Also I added an extra shim behind clutch bell after reading the post about the leak im not sure if it helped or not but was just wonder if it will progress.
