    It just seemed to me that everyone was trying a complicated solution, relocating reciever, servos, batterys, etc. There has got to be a simple solution that is cheap and very easy without all the relocating everything. Someone show me a solution that requires no special parts from a hobby...

    Raise Tank

    Spektrum DX3S or DX2S

    When you change to this type radio do you need to also get digital servos? Will stock analog servos work with it? Thanks for your time. Mike

    1/2 tank lean

    I have this problem at the seam in the tank engine goes lean and stops running. Has anyone contacted HPI about this problem as it seems to be wide spread. If you contacted them what were the results and is the a cure other than 4 feet of fuel line? Thanks again for your time. Mike

Temp is running around 210 F, This seems worse when tank has reached about 1/2 full, if I refill the tank things improve. Question...
