Savage Gas Tank

[JasonB]

I just bought a brand new Savage .25 RTR. Its a nice truck, but I dont like the gas tank.


Has anyone used this one here??

I've seen some people using that before, but I don't know how they like it tho.

Its too big, and it stays loose. Also, I can't get the engine tuned right, and from what I have been reading, the stock .25 tanks are a problem for everyone.

primeless tank!

go with the primeless tank instead of the one with the primer. also if you cut a small piece of fuel tubing and slip it over the tank arms and squash the tank down the clips will fit nice and snug. shouldnt be hardle any movement now.

the placement of the NewEra tank is just asking to be broken.

The .25 comes with a primerless tank.



I dont want the rear mount tank, but the 125cc side mount looks nice. I got the same tank on my RC10GT, it runs with no problems.

Personally, I'd go with this one: New Era OFNA Side Mount Tank

I have the tank on my savage, but I made the mounts myself out of 1/8" steel. It works really well, very minimal leaning as the tank empties.

hpi has tank problems

I have the savage ss. I started with the stock ss tank with the primer but it was a nightmare to tune, melted spur gears, fuel spitting everyware the works. So i put on a savage racing tank without the primer, this works better but still not to my liking. ( i have three other cars that run great) . So i tried this hair brain sceam that included a fishtank check valve in the exhaust pressure line. To my surprise half the seam around my new tank bubbles and leaks fuel under pressure. I recomend using the OFNA buggy tank, alot of people agree.
