This is the tank and servo placement I used on the 2.5 chassis:

looks pretty good, but i got a question. do u just get bored and decide to move things around on ur truck? i got the xtm conversion chassis, and i put a 2.5 rustler tank on it, right where the battery box would go. it worked really nice, and made it look good also. I'm not sure if i have a pic of it tho in my gallery. i will get a few in there in the next few days.

Nope, not bored, just tired of stuff breaking. The tank move was a necessity as I was breaking stock tanks left and right (total of 9 in 4 months). Then I found this tank and liked it's ability to provide constant pressure. It won't fit back where the stock tank fit on the xtm chassis. At least not well enough. It sits to close to the shock tower and on bad landings, the shock tower bends and breaks the tank. Putting it where I did also made me move the reciever, but it made the fuel lines easy to route. I moved the servo because I hated it being so close to the spur gear and one of the servo mount screws was right under the chassis rail underneath. In order to take it off, you had to take off the rail as well. It was annoying.

I tried the rustler tank, but it foamed really bad and it's so small, you don't get much run time per tank. I'm just a basher, but I didn't feel like filling the stupid thing up every 4 minutes...
 
kool, i had the rustler tank, and found it too small also, so i put another one on there for fun and cause i was bored. lol
