I have drilled the holes out to 4mm. I have purchased shock absorbing rubber o rings, I have left 1 mm of play for the tank. Pretty much at wits ends. It's not just the money ( tanks equal about 40 a pop to get to Australia ) it's the inconvenience, and the dnf's and having to switch classes halfway through a series round. In my opinion the product is not fit for its purpose. I have an Xt9 that's been running strong at the same track, same conditions, no broken tanks, and a 3 year old D8 still on its original tank. Really wanted to like this brand, but I don't really wanna be a guinea pig for its products.

I'm gonna see if Tower can help me out with something, otherwise keep an eye out for an nb48 with less than 20 mins runtime in the for sale Aussie section. Real disappointed.
+1 for me, too. I've broken two, and my third has an air leak somewhere (i know may not be the tank). Tekno has been first rate for me on this whole excersize, but racing 3 classes with the additional "attention" nitro needs is more work than fun. I'll clean it up here soon enough and post details. I bought FastPete's box of parts, too. PM if interested.
