    Hop Up Idea

    What do you guys think about this for a hop up...

    A fuel tank that is oversized...

    Maybe it could take up the midship battery box as well as where it is now. I know where I race it wouldn't be a problem running it like that. and having 1 pit in a main would be a real help. But you ROAR racers wouldnt be able to use it.

    Big tanks also lead to a Rich/Lean situation...Just refuel while its still running, no biggie.

    Cause your 1/10 car has no emissions equipment that will turn on a "check engine" light. Also gas and nitro act a little different.

    And the accidental fire from spilt fuel tends to be a bit larger with your 1:1 car.

    refueling a nitro car is how fast you can get the nozzle in and how hard you can squeeze your fuel bottle. it only takes a few seconds...it takes like 10 minutes to fill my dads truck up...21 gallon tank....50 bucks a fill lol....
