I had to fill a tank hole and just used a self tapping screw and PTFE tape it's still not leaking after 3 years on my 52cc weedwacker, I've never used a Losi. Great show

[@PerformanceFestiva]

Can't be too careful against fire. I've had a petrol fire in my race car shop and it was an absolute nightmare. I'm glad you noticed this and warned people. Totally not over reacting.

[@alexwest2180]

At first I was thinking it might be to vent the tank. I'd put a fitting on it with some coiled fuel line. Will still allow it to vent and help keep fuel from leaking out in hard acceleration and roll overs. We use the trick on a real drag car and doesn't leak. Hope that helps.

[@toysforboysrc]

Heyyyy for the fuel tank hole, people should use GASKET MAKER for gas and oil. There are sealers for fuel applications.

[@mikewilliams5851]

Your channel is the best just started RC ing and you make it so fun great job Cheers.

[@chriscottell6854]

Its exactly what rc's r all bout. Fun n finding out how to take apart, fix n rebuild n get bk to driving flat out. 😁

[@eddielane9569]

In America we have a product called JB Weld. It comes in various forms now when it use to come in just one. They have a kind that you squeeze out of the tube and it is in a two-part mix like your two-part epoxy you were using. They also have a two part putty type that has a center color and then the outer color is different and you cut the amount you need and you knead it together in your hands until it gets warm and well mixed then you apply it. It comes in a form for metals and other items and a new product they have had for a while is for Plastics that you cut what you need and also knead it together and apply it and then it dries really hard. You then sand it to your liking and if you like you can paint it. You've got to be careful with anything you use because you have to make sure that it will stand up to different kinds of fuel because some products will eat away pretty quickly While others may take a little longer. I hope you're fix did the trick. Maybe you should contact the company and tell them what you found and ask other people to do the same otherwise they will think it's just a one-off situation which it could be but this kind of thing as you know and have said will start fires and you could crank your machine up for the very first time and take off with it and watch it burn up because you didn't have a way to extinguish it at the time which it is a good idea if you're running lipos or frankly any kind of RC to have extinguishers handy just in case otherwise it could cause a fire in a field or any other place. The JB Weld by the way dries hard as Steel and I think it's a terrific product.

[@No_Brake_Nation]

Just bought the same one a week ago!! going to put it on road hopefully tomorrow and rip it :) thanks for the videos always love them!!

[@raya4393]

I’m surprised you don’t have a Losi WRC Mini. Too bad they stopped producing them.

[@lnskustoms6795]

Had to do the same thing with mine. It is thin there from the molding process. It is where the plastic runner meets the tank when it is made. With gas left inside it caused the tank to expand, it finds the weakest spot and will blow that hole open. I just put a small o right g on a screw and tighten it down hasn't leaked in months now.

[@muskokamike127]

Yeah those tanks are made via blow molding. They put a rough "tube" into the mold and inject hot air in and it expands to fill the hollow mold. That's the point where they hold the blank and inject the hot air. They usually twist the plastic and leave a blob over the injection point. Looks like there process was a failure. It's the same way they make gas cans and detergent bottles and all sorts of "containers". When I worked in the plastics industry I asked "why don't they just use the opening where the gas comes out or the vent"? Shut up and get back to work! lol

[@lnskustoms6795]

@@muskokamike127 yep was in the injection molding business for awhile dealing with the same crap as a machine setup tech

[@muskokamike127]

@@lnskustoms6795 Yeah, setup and monitoring is key. Seems they failed bigtime on the monitoring part if many people are experiencing the same issue. I do cnc work now and if I have to make more than one part, like dozens, I always verify that the 12th is the same as the first. Anything can happen to cause them to be off.

I watch all ur videos Kevin I like them all n I love the fact that your honest with your rc car opinion thanks for being so honest and respectful to us as watchers

[@Skulldude69420]

I’m on my second losi tank. Both leak from the same hole

[@Metalingus777]

I’m willing to bet the hole was intended for a low mount fuel pickup on another model.

[@robertruiz5417]

Absolutely thought the same

[@btmstwins]

Screw a fitting into it and put a piece of fuel line on it with a zip tie. If it’s a vent the tank will still vent.

[@alanmeyers3957]

It’s in the bottom of the tank and the caps are what is vented on these

Great vids mate I came across your channel by accident when I was looking for how to upgrade my ftx carnage nitro and now I'm watching every vid you have done cos you're a proper entertainer and also as a beginner I'm learning loads from you, so many thanks... it's so much fun tearing about like a nutcase lol yeah mc donalds is my go to place when I can't go loo, 1 burger and that clears me out lol. Love it how you're so good to your viewers and honest reviews. You look like you have such a great and fun life with all the toys and the other massive toy you have I'm really jealous lol no honestly you seem like a great fella so really deserve it and I wish you and all people you know good karma.

Hi Kev, love the video's mate keep up the good work. I'm thinking of getting my first rc basher car do I go nitro or battery?

Go lipo nitro is very finiki messing with the needles running rich or to lean ect

[@jay82bob]

deez is right. lipo are faster cleaner easier to maintain especially as you are new to r.c. good luck!

[@justincoleman9776]

I concur, petrol/gas is a pain in the a$$. The only thing you need to be careful about is not using more Ss than your system can handle. LiPo is the best but NiMH can save you some money. They also don't tend to catch fire nearly as often

Hi Kev

[@DetoursRC]

Some of the newer reviews on horizon say the issues have been fixed. Loose/ no loctite on critical parts and holes in fuel tanks. The older reviewers were upset at the lack of quality control for a car that price. I love horizons products but sending out cars with holes in the fuel tanks that they KNEW ABOUT is inexcusable I agree. I dont think you are over reacting about the tank. Going through and checking bolts and screws and loctiting them is something alot of people do when they get an rtr. I do.

[@justincoleman9776]

"...is something a lot of people [should] do" RTR mean its Ready to run. Not "some maintenance and dis/re-assembly required before use."

[@DetoursRC]
