Default RE: MGT 8.0 has a very small tank. Any tank upgrade available ?

well i get an average of 15 mins bashing the crap out of my MGT with a mach 427 in it on a BMX track

yes the machs smaller .26, but it revs to around the 40k mark

The stock 8.0, which is a converted thunder tiger helicopter motor, only revs around the 22K mark

So basically take into mind the revs and the displacement, they should, be somewhat near each other in fuel consumption.

A mate in sydney gets 12 minutes out of his 8.0 at the moment, hes got about 2 gallons of fuel through it, so its loosened up a bit, once they loosen up they tend to use a little less fuel
