Where is your leaking ? At the seam ?
The last tank I used hot glue around the seam and so far it seems to be holding up.
It's leaking at the seam. This second tank I hot glued it up but seems like front post is hitting the tank and making it leak again. Went to LHS and have them fixed yesterday. Will see if it's holding up in today race.

How are the Kyosho springs compare to stock springs? The Kyosho springs are too expensive for me to order them for just trying.

New tank is only about $15 so I ordered spare just in case.

Try mounting a piece of foam under the tank, and careful not to overtighten the screws.

Since I heard a lot about these springs, I might give them a try. I will need these two, right? And do i need to change anything else in order to use them?
