Fuel tank lower than engine?

[superlightmaxx]

I Read its better to mount the center of the fuel tank with the carb of the engine but can It be mounted much lower without any worries (like 1 or 2") Will this cause any problems? Nitro expert please help! thanks

you will have to have a pipe with alot of back pressure, so itll push the fuel through the lines.

[superlightmaxx]

what kind of pipe has lots of back pressure? Would RD LOGICs rear twin exhaust pipe have more than a stock one?

[squeeforever]

Perhaps, but thats not a very good pipe. Go for something like a Vantage or Traxxas Resonator. This is for your T-Maxx right?

[superlightmaxx]

yes it's for my t-maxx but I want to mount the fuel tank below the engine (not the same chassis plate) so you think a traxxas Resonator would do? The engine is an OS 18TM

[squeeforever]

I would go with a side mount Resonator (one off of a Jato would work perfect) or a Vantage for sure.

thanks squeeforever,

how far below stock do you think I could get away with? 1/2" 1" or more? I'm really hoping for 1 1/2" but I think the best thing to do is start at stock height and drop a fraction of an inch at a time while checking performance.

What do you think?
