This is true. We received a MCX equipped Nytro this past Monday to look over. The charge tube is hitting our tank (it was hitting the OEM tank on the sled we have!). So we are reworking our mold next week and will have this resolved within a few days. Doing our best to make our product work for as many sledders as possible.

Thanks for your patience.

what would be the chances of using a heated metal tube in a vice and pressing the tank over it to form it the the intake tube???
i have three here and i wounder if it would be worth it or would it damage the tank too much??

I have a tank that fit on with no problem, although there is no room to spare. I believe it just depends on the location that the charge tube hole was drilled, so there is a chance the tank will fit without any modifications.
From my understanding, Seth is re-doing the mold so that there can be no issues. It is good to see a company working so hard to modify a new product so that it fits everyone's needs.
When MCXpress was installing their tank, it hit the charge tube. They heated the tank and used a metal tube to form the tank so that it fit. I think this would work better than heating a tube.

Could you guys rework the mold to use dzus fasteners too? I would order a tank except I don't like how it uses regular screws.

I have replaced the regular screws with thumb screws so that you don't need a screwdriver. These aren't as quick as a dzus fastener, but much easier than the phillips head screws.
