    The Quick UK ones are suitable as sold in Fastlads

    Don't forget the fitting kit if you take this route.

      great - use one of those on my raptor. where abouts on the 600 do you mount yours, out of interest

        Drilled a new hole just above the main tank.

        Dunno whether you can make it out on this shot.

            I use a TT raptor header tank---it's half the price of a quick uk one and I believe there are cheaper ones still.

                if it's only consistancy your after then you could try a fuel magnet. all 4 of my flying helis run fuel magnets. i have not used a header tank in a few years and wouldn't go back to them.

                only important thing with a fuel magnet is keep it covered with fuel when your done.

                cheers

                    I would agree with The TT header tanks should be looked at, Ive now had a few Quick Ones and a couple have leaked very slightly, the seal doesn;t seam to have worked perfectly each time, a problem ive not had with the TT type.
                    All the best

                      I used an RJX header tank with the RJX alloy bracket on my 600N and 700N. I used a drilled out and cut down body mount to space it out from the chassis.
