I think it's my tank.

I've been noticing lately that my revo is very snappy after I turn left and somewhat sluggish after turning right. It's a new revo tank but I'm running the sirio 27. I think it's so thirsty that when I turn right the fuel gets away from the pickup just long enough to put an air bubble in the line and lean it out for a second or two. Anyone been through this? I'm going to get an mbx5 tank and tekno rx box anyway, I just want to make sure that will fix this problem.

It will be better for sure, that's the most consistent fuel tank I have ever used..the Mugen 5 tank. Be sure to pull the black plug out of it that is there for reducing fuel quantity. That bumps it up another 10cc.

Interesting. My tank's pick up is a drain hole in the rear bottom of the tank, like right into the bottom of the tank, that is then taken up a channel in the side case and out the fuel port.

Sorry to hijack, but I was going to ask if you had any suggestions for stopping air bubbles when you roll the buggy over on it's back? It usually stays running, but will die moments later once righted due to air in the fuel line.

Longer fuel and a fuel filter. Be gentle on the throttle after you flip it back over. Give it a chance push the air thru the engine at lower speeds.. Wide open it will starve out real quick and die.

Yeah I've heard alot about that tank. And I think the sirio is just so thirsty.... especially when it's 40 degrees out that it allows a small bubble to cause the snappy response off left hand turns. I'm starting to wonder now why I didn't just go and get an 8ight or a jammin because now I'm gonna have alot more than that into a revo. Oh well, maybe once I get to the track a few times I can find a way to justify getting a new truggy!

Trust me, go to a race track and you will realize how much money you wasted on the Revo. I built one too, then shortly afterwards the MT class was gone!
I race truggy now, nothing like a good truggy! They can bash just as good as most MT's too.

Oh I know, I'm kind of kicking myself, but at least I have a badass MT now. I'll be working 7 12 hour days a week from july to december so I guess I'll keep it under $1000 and get an 8ight-t that'll dominate this revo. It'll always be here for me I don't sell crap!:microwave
