[tizdaz]

Hi guys, is the fuel cap on the 2.0 same as the 1.0 as i want to buy an aftermarktet one, i been looking at this one: https://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/fid-racing-dbxl-silver-alloy-fuel-cap-with-one-way-valve.html

but it don't say if its compatible with 2.0?

Cheers!

Hi tizdaz, is there any reason why you want to replace the stock plastic cap?

 

[tizdaz]

No particular reason, just want an alloy one to go with the rest of my upgrades, had rhe same on my v1 dibby

Hi tizdaz, you might find some useful info in the thread above. I have also posted a simple mod for the stock cap to prevent fuel leakage

There's no real reason to replace the std cap. Since you insist on bling over function, be awear its real easy to cross thread the alloy cap on the tank and mess the threads up.

Ive had alloy caps in past on all my tanks over the years incl my FGs etc so its all good bur with my v1 dibby the tank lid was prone to leaks and was one of the essential mods to do, ive not yet ran my v2 but as i mentuoned above i want it to match rest of my build

Hi tizdaz, just another suggestion to you to prevent fuel leak from the bottom of the tank. There is a permanent fix for it mentioned in this thread https://www.largescaleforums.com/threads/dbxl-2-0-gas-tank-leak.28467/

This is very true. I went through 2 tanks before I started using the stock caps again. Does the job and most importantly doesn't leak.

Any standard 5th scale cap will fit, I'd probably spring for one that's got 5ive-t in the fitment description.

the 2.0 cap won't fit over the 1.0 cap, i tried and didn't work. the stock plastic ones worked best for me. i had the aluminum ones and it cross threads the plastic tank. alum ones are nice tho.

You have to be dead straight and patient with threading aluminum gas caps.
