So i bought a parts lot a while back and got a tank that i had no idea what it was recently found out it is a Ofna Violator tank and want to run it now. What is the easiest way to fit it on a 2.5 chassis and the tank is used and is green on the engine why is this?
 
The easiest is to mount it where the battery box is, drill one new hole for the front mount post reuse the rear battery box hole.

If you need mount posts you can use either of these.

That works, but putting the battery in-between the front bulks kinda sucks.
You can do this is you get a 3.3 chassis:

I was planing to stack the reveciver box and the battery box and leave them where the reveciver is stock.

Revo. Think I have the same pipe but Hard Coated.

Looks like you have put your stinger pointing downwards.

Can you take me a pic showing it from the side? Does it hang over your chassis straight to the ground? I placed mine parallel with chassis and had to cut my body to get my deflector out.
 
I can't take a pic right now, I'm on my way to work. This one shows it a little better though. I lined it up where I wanted it and drilled new holes in the pipe.
The real magic is in tweaking the manifold to get it pointed down. That makes the mounting much better.

Ah. Yeah. Can just see it now. So it exits the gas just between the chassis and the body?
