Default What tank for a Mojo 40?

What fuel tank do I need to get for a Mojo 40? Also how much covering? Does anyone have a list of what is needed to complete a Mojo in full? My town does not have a good hobby shop so I need to order everything.

Thanks,

Of course you'll need an engine, receiver, switch harness, battery, and 5 standard BB servos (you might choose a mini for throttle but the standard will work as well)

Also, you'll need:
2 servo extensions. 18" or longer
Heavy duty servo arms
Control horns
servo linkage and clevises
throttle linkage
Wheels
Wheel collars
Tail wheel or skid
2 rolls of covering
fuel tank 6-8 oz depending on engine
nuts/ bolts/ washers for engine mounting and to add R thrust
antenna tube
small servo screw sized screws for the hatches


That's about all I can think of except for glue, building tools etc. I might be missing something but I don't think anything big. You should do a search for Pro Bros on the net and join the forum. All the info you seek and more is there.

For a 2 stroke 55 or smaller get a 60z tank
For a 4stroke - 8oz tank
I pretty much ONLY use Hayes tanks. They are super simple and never leak.

2 rolls of covering will barely do it. For the fuse to be ALL the same color as the wing top you will need 2 of the same color and a different color for the bottom. thats 3 rolls.

Also 4- 1 3/4" bolts to bolt the landing gear on. Something between 2-56 and 4-40. Also 2 rolls of covering will barely get it done as stated. If you are doing trim allow 2 1/2 rolls min.

that's good advice. I went with an 8 ounce hayes thinking my os55ax would be thirsty. It wasn't. I regularly land with half a tank. I've managed 15 minute 3D flights (read: full throttle only on uplines) so a 6 ounce would be better for saving a little weight.

The flip side to that is I have an 8oz tank with a Saito 72 and it is just enough. I wouldn't mind a couple more ounces honestly.

Good to hear. The 55ax is on my short list. Would the 46 ax or fx be enough?

Yes, even a 46 fx has plenty of pull out with an apc 12.25x3.75 prop on it. But, get the most motor you can afford. A Mojo 40 with a Saito 82 is ballistic power, but not too much.

My mojo has an OS 55 on it with a 13x4 APC and it rocks. vertical is unlimited and the OS is getting smoother by the tank full. I love it.

I really like the Hayes tanks as well. I wont by anything else. I have a OS 46 on mine and prefer the 8oz tank. The reason why is that the mojo is such a blast to fly I end up forgetting how long my flight has been and fly a little too long!

The OS 46 with the 12.25X3.75 APC has great power. My first choice would be a 4 stroke but I have the OS on hand. It has great power, good pull out and unlimited vertical. More power with the 55 would be nice but dont hesitate on the 46, it will fly great.

Forgot to add, I have an 8oz dubro tank on mine but brand isn't that important. I would've grabbed the hayes first if I had a choice but the dubro works fine.

I have a TT 46 Pro on mine with a Macs pipe and my own mousse can muffler and it swings an APC 12x4 at 14K+. I like the two strokes because they are easy to tune, very simple and will handle a lot of abuse for someone like Friz who is just starting out. My TT has never let me down and has insane power. You will love the Mojo-next you should try the 60 size.
