Tune it for performance at half tank, because the design of the fuel tank isnt a very good design so when the fuel gets to half tank tune it. When the tank is full your engine will be a bit rich but when it ets to half tank it will kick in.

Yep. There is almost always talk in the traxxas forum about the ofna tank. does require some mods but from what i can tell it is well worth it.
