Default NTC3 Fuel Tank?

I have the K-Factory Low Profile Fuel tank in my Nitro TC3. This past week some rookie forgot to slow down at the end of the straight away and slammed into my car, cracking the tank.[:@]

I was going to order a new one but wanted to know if the K-Factory tank is worth the extra money? Its double the price of the stock tank!

Should I just buy the stock tank?

Is their any noticable difference in performance between the two?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

If your lap times are typically within .1 second of each other, then go for it. Otherwise, you prolly won't notice the difference...

Uhhh...Did you say .1 second? I'm pretty good but NOT THAT GOOD!!


Anyone else have an opinion about the two tanks?

Save your money. The k-factory tank only marginally moves the cg. I've seen no performance difference.

Prior to when the AE tank was modded with the in-cap pressure nipple, the k-factory tank eliminated the air bubble issue, too. AE solved the issue on their current tank.

are you sure? I currently have the AE tank and bubbles still form like crazy! And I just bought this kit this year. I am ordering the K factory unit and will see if it does eliminate the bubbles.
