What lobes are you talking about....

There is nothing wrong with new tank....The issue here is old tank has been modified to fit between shock tower bump ups...

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.



So it is actually unmodified at the bottom. The underside of the tank has two divets similar to the super beetle ones. Hasn't been shaped in any custom fashion. The new one has a very square body underside that barely fits!

I'm guessing just a different tank then I bought

Yes that gold flake is a total game changer!

I have no idea about the tank though. Sorry!

Nice and quick build. I'm from Sacramento and remember that buggy listed for sale not too long ago. Hope to see you on the road someday when mine is done.
