A trick I learned from a older guy is to take about 1/4 and inch of fuel tubing and put it over the fuel line. It will squeeze down on the fuel line and make it tighter than those fuel line clamps. And way cheaper.

Back when I flew planes, we used something we called a klunk on the end of the fuel line in the tank. This most times had a small weighted filter built to a heavier brass piece that ensured that the fuel line always remained down in the fuel no matter which way the plane was oriented. RC nitro cars should have these also so if the car was upside down, the engine would still get fuel no matter what. Even an old cripple like me would have time to get to the upside down car before it could possibly run out of fuel. Brett was huffing too much of whatever that was he shot through the fuel tubing. He'll be fine.😮👌😁

I have adjustable shocks like that on my buggy how do you adjust them evenly

@AMain_Hobbies 4 жыл бұрын

Typically you use calipers to measure the distance from the spring twister nut to the top shock cap and ensure distance is the same. From there, you can mark a line in the twister nut (with a little paint, or a dremel) so you know when you've turned it a full revolution around, and do the same amount of twists on each side. Having a line in the nut really helps out if you're track side and want to make little adjustments quickly. -Brett

Got a question about fuel. Does nitro fuel go bad as it sits?

@AMain_Hobbies 5 жыл бұрын

Great question! Nitro fuel can sit for a few years and be ok for use, but it really depends on how it is stored. Fuel likes to be stored in cool, dark and dry places, with minimal temperature fluctuations. Exposure to air can make it go bad as well. We recommend using quarts of fuel, not gallons, because you use them faster and open/close them fewer times. If the fuel looks discolored, don't use it. And try not to store them on a concrete slab, like the garage floor; concrete stores moisture which can effect he floor. -Brett
