Its long so that when you flip the vehicle over, it doesn't die immedietly from the lack of fuel. You can cut it shorter if you want, but your gonna have to race over to your truck if you flip it before it dies.

you can prime by taking the tube from your exhaust to your tank off the exhaust and blow till the fuel reaches the carb then put it back on and pull (make sure you have your glow stater on the plug ready)

then let the engine warm up before you try to use throttle, sometimes helps if you put a little throttle trim higher to give it a nice false over high idle.


if you have cut your fuel line short on the revo (which i had a short line on straight from tank to carb)

then thats what might be cutting engine out when you try to set off (not enough fuel getting to engine)

it did this with me.


just put the revo fuel pipe looping how it is ment to be.
