Well, I was busy putting zip-ties in all possible locations a few nights ago, and an idea came to me. I zip-tied a little hook onto another zip-tie that I had attached to the fuel tank. The result was something that will hold my tank open while I fill it up, so I can do it one handed. I'll post some pictures later, along with a few pics of the Proline Enzo body I painted with the colors of the Italian flag. Came out pretty nice.
 
I have seen that tip in just about every R/C nitro magazine and on every web site. comes in really handy though. here is a pic of my sportmaxx with 2 zip ties and a piece of fuel tubing to make a grip on my fuel tank lid.
