Default tanks alot

busted 2 tanks today video will be added later.
the blown apart one was from a t-bone. the picco ran out of fuel and at the distance i thought i was going behind it.
nope.i was wrong. i need glasses[8D]
the other is the usual shock bolt into the tank.
both tanks were on the picco/s25.
lrp also snapped it first dog bone. rf.

yep. had a blast.just wished more of the guys would have shown up.
the lhs owner broke his lst 2. 1 dead servo on the steering.
loned him the picco/s25 to use.
his brother broke a rear shock and at the end the clutch bell came off.lost the screw.
i think they got off easier than i did.
waiting for my buddy that did the videos to finish and i'll post what he's got.

Turn your shock bolts around so the head is facing towards the tank

Also try cutting about 5mm off of the front section of the shock tower where the bolt goes through, it gives you a little more room between the tank and the bolt
