Gas cap

[Courage68]

Found out the rubber peice inside my gas cap broke.


I was wondering what upgrades i can do to the gas cap system , or another alternative higher quality one that fits the stock tank.

-You can use a large o-ring to seal it.

-There is an aluminum Redcat cap. However it's only available in blue.

-This cap also fits. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.2665/.f

The Baja caps don't fit.

vent your tank because the rubber diaphragm in the cap is not sufficient for displacement or meaning not enough air can get in to replace the taken fuel

You can vent the cap or tank.

I first thought the Baja ddm caps would fit , no go.

I opted for the blue cap

+1 on the tank vent....drill a hole in your grommet, or buy the Snappy Fuel system grommet with 3 holes already in it. from daves motors. When i tried to take out my stock grommet, it crumbled into 100 pcs...snappys is only 6$ and works perfect. or drill a hole in the cap like RCDAD said

yeah sounds good, just ordered the snappy kit.

Thanks everyone for your advice !~

Snappy's for sure.

Snappy grommet works awsome

 

[BertR]

Hell yes!!! Snappy all the way and it's not a PITA to get in

LOL.. I've heard that before.

All you need to do is take a dremel with a soft metal cutting drum and make the billet baja cap fit over stock Redcat cap then epoxy the crap out of it and shove it on. Has been holding up really well... If you go that route just make sure to put a set screw in the vent hole of stock cap...

 

[Guest]

That would work. You could also just dab some epoxy between the two caps to also plug the holes.

Quick question...

I notice my new acquired TT is missing the rubber insert in the stock cap. What are the downfalls of running it like this till I buy one??

 

[rampagemt]

I do believe fuel will come out of the hole unless you plug it and run a vent either from the cap or grommet.

I bet that works to but I can never be 2 safe lol

If you had it upside down fuel would leak past the threads. You can use an O-ring in the cap.

Thanks guys...that's what i figured.

From what I see the only way to buy the rubber insert is to buy a new tank with cap.

Or get a hop up cap.
