The fuel tank is supposed to have abit of play in it, do not tighten it down too much.

Yeah, don't worry about the tank being loose. Mine just actually sits in the opening(no screw) with some servo tape on the side. This thing has many times landed upside down and done many a fierce cartwheels and the tank has yet to come out.

well 70 degrees out got her on the second tank and bent my front shock tower i guess you run it to some things so i bent it back real easy.This thing it real touchey i like the backyard basher fuel from sidewinder 20% nitro 16%oil you have to check everything thing on these when you get them my front dog bones fell out also what weight of shock oil do they put in these even with the shocks adjusted 1/2 way it's sloppy or is there a step up in the springs or oil
