I like the lines, are they steel? I hope it isn't exposed on the inside to the fuel. Rust will develop and get in the engine.
What truck is that?

Hello,
The fuel lines are Braided Sleeving Mesh. They are just covers over the Reg. fuel line. with HEAT SHRINK at the ends. So i wont be getting Rust in the Engine. The Truck is a AMax THWARTER. its an upgrade from the Redcat Volcano SV... check out this post i put up when i 1st got my truck..... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_64...tm.htm#6471832

i have alrdy thought about that before i put the new fuel line in. so i did a lil test. i drained my tank. filled it up, put my finger over the Exhaust and pulled the starter.about 3-5 pulls and its good to go.i did that test 6 times and the avr.was about 3-5 pulls and it was Primed..

i have had it for about a month or so... and i havnt had anything brake on it yet. just a few screws come out and small things. i got it off of E-Bay. and 99.9% of the parts you can get from Redcat. the truck is the same as a Redcat Volcano SV.......

I was thinking either the volcano or a 1/8. I'm not that hard on the truck and the 1/10 can be upgraded more so do you think I should just get the 1/10?
