Default RC10GT Fuel Tank

I got a stock 75cc fuel tank on it now. But I got a O.S. .18 CV-R on the truck and the tank is VERY VERY VERY small for that gas sucker! AE doesnt sell a bigger tank for the truck. I was wondering has anyone upgraded there RC10GT tank? If so How and which tank did you use. Thanks

You can remove the plug inside the tank and make a bit more capacity with the Gt-2 tank...

open the fuel lid and u should see a big retraingle plastic peace that has a allen key bolt just get a pair of needle nose and grip the bolt and carefully take it try not to lift the gas tank lid to much.

I went and bought this traxxas 125cc tank. NO it doesnt fit perfect but it will. I am gonna have to drill some holes =( but I got to have a bigger tank over all. I hope this 125cc tank will last a race. But that has already been removed out the tank thats on the truck. Does anyone have any ideas on how to mark for these holes? I was thinking some black paint. What do you think?

Pour some paint on a cardboard box or something then lightly dip the bottom of the tank in it, and while the paint is still wet, place the tank in the chassis so it transfers the paint markings. If you do it right, you should have the holes outlined right where they need to be
