Recently brought a brand new ftx carnage nitro rc from modelsport.co.uk i run it in following the guides and instruction aswell as watching a few you tube vids unfortunately after i run it in the very first head gasket blew and broke i then brought a pack of six replacements and replaced the broken one i then tried my luck again out in a field taking it steady to allow the gasket to settle to then find out that blue smoke was hissing out of the engine block again where the gasket should be i then got it home had a closer look and the gasket had blown again is there any recommendations on what i can do to stop this? Please any help would be rather appreciated thanks in advance

I would almost be inclined to contact the manufacturer as it seems that the block or the head are not flat causing a weak spot. If you are torqueing down the head properly in the correct sequence, then the only thing that I can think of is a manufacturing defect.
