First of all,

READ, READ READ, READ SOME MORE THEN MAYBE A HEALTHY DOSE OF READING.

These trucks aren't exactly an "entry level" rc, there is a lot to learn about lipo's and brushless in general. Please post up what you are running for batteries, charger, balancer yada yada yada.

The oil you found is most likely from the shocks, check all of them as this is a known issue.

Apart from that, congrats on the purchase! These trucks are a ton of fun and mine has been through hell and back and just keeps asking for more(and by more I mean money). Just ordered an extended chassis today. Any questions about it, don't be afraid to ask.

The esc's have been known to melt down running on 6s lipo before, however 95% of the time it is from improper use/set up. People don't understand that these are high-performance rc's and need to be properly maintained.

I will see what I can do, the savage is going to get a bit of a freshening while it's cold outside. Maybe find a permanent solution to the bumper brace issue. I hate having all those zip ties all over it.
