Fuel tank mod
I've been reading about this fuel tank mod with the pressure fitting coming off the rear of the fuel tank cap. What is the advantage of this over the stock left/right positions? And would you describe how the mod is done? Thanks.

Advice
WHy is it a few people who races 1/10 touring cars seldom uses OS engines like the OS TR. What they usually fit in a Serpent710, R40 or an MTX-3 is a Novarossi, Sirio or an RB engine. Is the OS TR engine really outperformed by its Italian counterpart in all aspects? or is it just they prefer newly released engines? Im currently trying to bring life to a Kyoho V1RR and an OS TR engine to power it. With this, will my car be able to give a fight with the big guys in terms of speed and handling? Of course driving skills is a different story.. thanks...........

i am sure OS has many good points. but i am not switching at this point.
tire size
Getting back to the tire diameter question, what is the recommended tire size (front and rear)? If the ratio is supposed to be 1:1 then why does Serpent say to measure the ride height with 64mm tire? I understand that different people will like different things but I am just looking for a place to start.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I use the OS pipe with it and from my experience it will never be able to fight on the top-end.
The OS is torqy (if one can say that) so its excellent for a small technical track. It is legendary for tuning ease and can idle until the cows come home.
If your track has a straight longer than 30meters, get a high-revving pony.

At its softest setting, is it softer than the stock bar?
How does it feel on the track?

but soft setting seems to be softer than the stock but when i ran it i was using the hardest setting and it works well. What i liked about it was when i had the standard bar on it one side would all ways lift higher than the other (with the ball joint the same size either side) so i felt that there wasnt even roll. were as this seem to lift either side the same. I have the new anti roll bars from serpent on there way and i will throw them on my other car and see the difference and i will let you know

Engine mounts
The new one piece Serpent engine mount is the same height as the old one @ 14.5mm. It weighs 17 Grams compared to 11 Grams of the old mounts (both together).
Hope this helps, Mark.
