Header tank

[SheffSean]

This could be one of a long line of questions concerning my Raptor 30 so I hope you guys dont get fed up of me asking , i`m gonna fit a Quick UK header tank to my heli but need to know if i`ll need to buy the separate fixing kit for £6.07p or can i just use an ordianary machine screw with a Nyloc nut fitted please, it`s not the money, just don`t want to buy something I don`t need thats all guys, thanks.

What fixing kit are you looking at? I susspect its the one that spaces the header tank off the frame so it fits passed the main tank on helis like the Trex 600/700. If I remember the raptor does not need this.

Hi Mark , it`s this one, the quick uk fixing kit Quick UK Header Tank Mounting Set Red H5511R thanks.

No, you dont need that, just bolt it on like the photo above.


This is not that fitting kit, but see how on a trex600 it needs to be spaced out to clear the main tank, thats what that kit does

Thanks again then Mark, your saving me some money you are mate, lol.

If you dont already have the header tank, I use this one

PV0311 Header tank

Its quite a bit cheaper and does the same job




Just want to check - you do know you dont actually need a header tank? - I never had one on my Raptor 30, I just added one when I upgraded to a 50 and started doing loops and rolls etc.

As a word of warning, as they are sticking out the side they can get damaged in crashes

I found the Raptor ones to be among the best as they do not leak and hold the pressure well......

I was advised to get one by an experienced heli flyer in the club i`m in, the one I was going to get was the Quick Uk one with the red fixing bracket, my Raptor has a red tail boom so I was going to carry on the red theme, i`ll have a word with him see the reason he told me why I need a header tank, thanks again though guys.
