I just broke my 2.5 fuel tank for the second time! Anyone know of a stronger tank or suggestions on how to stop this? I just bought a roll cage for it, not shure if it will help or not, but it can't hurt.

They make an aluminum fuel tank protector. Blue aluminum. Not sure how good it is but its worth looking into.http://www.asiatees.com/display.php...brand=Traxxas&model=T-Maxx 2.5&id=632&code=goI just broke my 2.5 fuel tank for the second time!

Where are you breaking them? Is your rear shock/shock mount bolt making contact with it and busting it or are the legs just cracking the tank on you?
YOu can go a radical route like I did and rearrange the entire chassis to fit a different tank on it...
I used a 125cc OFNA buggy tank. Never busted one again after that.

The legs keep cracking after hitting jumps. I heard of putting rubber o-rings between the tank and the chassis. Ill pick up a new tank tomorrow and try that!
Good luck. It kind of works, but has a tendency to cause the screws to fall out since you can't cinch them down.

I don't know if the o-ring thing works, but I do know that the tank guard works. I have one on my Maxx, after busting my stock tank. After I installed it I never broke another. It should work for you. Good luck.

It must just be the luck of the crash................... I have broken damn near EVERYTHING on my 4909 , never busted the tank. No rubber o-rings, no nuttin.
I now have a roll cage, and an ASS load of aluminum. From replacing busted parts.

I have never broken a tank either aside from spilling soder on it once haha.
But if you do go with the o-rings most hobby shops have a selection of screws so you can easily find longer onese to accomidate.
Hardware stores will have them if the hobby shop doesn't.
