There is no problem with the Lid Gasket. It's been carried over since the original V-One R and is used on all of their nitro cars. I am sure I've narrowed down the problem and I don't think it's easy to fix. The leak occurs at the seam around the mounting holes, front and rear. If you ever noticed, when you mount the tank, the screws actually thread into the plastic. This probably exacerbates the problem of an improper seal by seperating the two halves of the tank even more. I'm having my friend seal up another tank for me using a heat gun. He said it has held up fine for him so far. Soldering doesn't work for long and neither does shoe-goo.

Make sure too, that the screws holding the tank in place arent binding.

Thanks for the reply..... I wonder if a slight dremel of the mounting holes in the plastic followed by a soldering iron jammed in there to seal it again would reduce the stress on that mounting hole in the plastic. The worst that could happen would be a tank would last a day....hmmm not so different than now? Is there a product that welds plastic? I know that ca will melt it a little but is there something better?

Fuel Tank
Given all the probs that people are experiencing with the stock Kyosho fuel tank, I wonder if Skyline Racing would be willing to develope a new bullet-proof tank for the RRR?
Theyve certainly done wonders with the exhaust mount and rear shock tower, so a fuel tank so be relatively easy for them.
Perhaps a few emails sent in their direction might show them that theres a market out there for a durable RRR tank?

I know only what I know and that is the seal isn't very good and believe me I've tried everything else but it all comes back to the seal.
Checked all the obvious and I've been told by many that they just need regular replacement. To me that doesn't mean every race day.
The car is sensational and it already is so much better than my previous car but the motors that ran perfectly in my other car don't in the RRR.
I'll know by the next club day for sure when I try out my own seals.

It does appear to be indifferent with other peoples tanks but when you place the tank under water and do a simple test the lid bubbles away like a spa.
Sure you can replace the seal but with two of them failing in such a short time, I don't see the point.
The ones I've made fit into the lid more snuggly and are a little thicker and so far there has been no more bubbles from around the lid.
