The Traxxas Rustler tank holds slightly less fuel than the stock T-Maxx tank. Many people have done this mod for racing. The tank has a low center of gravity holds a tune good and mounts easily to the T-Maxx chassis or any other Maxx Chassis.

I think I have a like new Rustler tank if your interested. $10.00 shipped to your door.

My tank is just barely used maybe 5-6 tanks through it. The tank looks like new you could never tell the difference from a new one in the package.

MBX5 tank is sweet on my revo. You will need need to drill 2 small holes and get some steering posts from a t-maxx and just screw it all together. Its a super pimp tank. No lean out at the end of the tank, 125cc so its race legal if they make that a rule. It costs like 22 bucks and any hobby shop can order it or you can get it from tower hobbies.
