Default engine dies upside down

My engine dies when my savage rolls on to it's top. Is there a setup I can get, like the Monster GT's dual-pickup tank? So I don't have to run over and flip it over.

Do the dual tank mod and make sure to put the clunk weight into the hayes tank. It will idle upside down indefinitely.....

You could do, but any small air leak and you have a bigger problem.

The header tank is onlt about $9 whats the problem?

No, but when it flips over at 100+yards it is nice to not have it lean out and cut off. With the weight, it will go as long as there is fuel in the tank.
