bestrcpilot Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Anyone know if a ty80 gas tank will fit on a ty175? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) The TY80 big-wheel fuel tank is too long for a TY175 unless you shorten the seat or move it back. I haven't tried a small-wheel TY80 tank on a TY175. I just re-read your post and because you said "gas" tank I figure you may not know what a big-wheel TY80 is. The TY80s sold in the US are small-wheel models. Edited June 2, 2010 by feetupfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestrcpilot Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I forgot that these post go world wide. So will a USA model ty80 tank fit on a USA model ty175? It looks to be the right length but is narrower any one tried it? I hate to buy one from feabay and not have it fit without to much work with the welder.

alan_nc Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Here is my TY175 the way I got it .....with a TY80 gas tank. Still have both - I have gone to a bigger tank so I could make it around a complete Trial Round. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestrcpilot Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks Alan_NC that what I needed to know. It look like it will give me more room to raise the engine and pipe. Now where did I put the welder? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_nc Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Here is what it looks like now. Think the tank is from a Yamaha 75/76 MX125, it bolted right in place with no cutting. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
