T-Maxx gas tank P.o.s

No, I don't think so. It's the same problem on the savage except the savage goes from fat to thin instead of thin to fat. I never had a "sealing" issue with the stock tank, just a breakage issue. I kid you not, I broke about 15 of those stupid things.

I think it had a lot to do with my setup, but I broke 5 with the stock 8-shock and stock shock towers setup. I broke them more frequently when I went with RPM towers and 4 OFNA shocks.

yeah the RPM towers are a bit spongey.....especially when you run 4 shocks......I had to get another set of Kyosho shocks on my truggy cause the tower and arms w/ only 4 shocks were twisting just enough to let my CVD pop out.....what's even more funny is I have NEVER busted a T-maxx tank......I've had the mounting holes get stripped, and I snapped a lid off cause I was pissed at it and needed to dump fuel in it so of course I grabbed it like a red headed step child and pulled too hard.....but never had one just break......

Not to ask a stupid question, but being as this gentleman lives in michigan, would it be possible guys that the plastic is brittle due to the cold?

more than likely that could be a reason you northerners get to break stuff more.....

 

[godale03]

It is definitely why we break more stuff.... In fact I broke so much stuff last winter I don't even run my stuff unless it is in the 50's. I broke 3 times as many, bumpers, shocks, body mounts and a couple of stock Tmaxx steering knuckles. The cold sucks man... I wish I lived in FL......

I broke most of my tanks in the summer. By the time winter came around, I had replaced it with a buggy tank then I didn't have a problem. Actually, that same tank has been on my savage for 12 gallons worth of serious bashing...
