Dude.... Do yourself a favor... Buy a new tank for the $10... JB Weld will not hold up... You'll see....
 
Nice man.....your truck should rip with the Fantom .18.

Imbroken is right, JBweld isn't designed to be used on plastic in that manner. I've got some used Maxx tanks in Excellent cond that I could give ya a good deal on. Pm me if interested. I run the Slimline alluminum tank so I don't have to worry about broken tanks.
 
Got Stickers? lol. looks pretty good but i would rip that reverse set up out of there and put a FOC in. i see u have a failsafe but do u have a rechargeable hump pack? as far as a new fuel tank, i would suggest getting a OFNA 1/8th scale 125cc buggy tank. u would put that where the old battery box was and put the new hump pack where the old gas tank was. do a searh as Buggy tank and u should find soem threads about it. or just ask me.

later
 
Looks nice. I'm jealous of the .18 I keep telling myself next thing, but I keep coming up with more practical things I have to spend my money on like a newfreezer and battery back-up sump pump. BORING I know, but it's a fact of having your own house.

WElcome to the home owners club dude. It's good to hear that your priorities are in the right place. I've got some bash buds that would easily let their burnt up water heater sit for a week while they spend money on Nitro..lol.
 
nice looking mt you got there..but like a few people said that jb weld won't hold for long .a new tank only cost around 12$ thats cheap.conpaired to not being able to run with your buddys on the weekend.because you tank is leaking and sucking air..
 
Well here she is with the FR18 bolted on with 5 tanks of breakin through here shes runnin pretty rich right now and like the performance already. And basher boy I'm runnin Dynamite Blue Thunder sport in it.

I run Trinity Monster brew 20%, I was running Trinity Platinum 30% but it was running around 340/360 with the new fuel having loads more lube temps are down to the 300 range. Its not only kooler but actually runs better and tunes easier! Oh and Domination my .03 FR.18 is non turbo,I remember you saying yours was a turbo plug.I am very pleased with the power and like it alot better with the lower temps.
 
yea i thought the older model FR18 was gunna BLOW but i am suprised I'm very happy with it still packs a punch and I'm running in the 300 range also.
 
nice looking maxx. i'm new here and wanted to show mine.---sorry image to big pics wont go.
