Just go to the hobby store and buy a roll of nitro car fuel tubing, it will work fine. Several manufacturers make fuel line, it's all similar diameter and will work with your vehicle.

I'll be honest I doubt you will need a roll or 2
3 feet should be way more than enough to redo the fuel lines of over 7 nitros easy

All depends on how you run it, some like alot. some dont.

i like the thickest line i can find. it dosnt bounce around as much and dosnt seem to split around the tank and carb nipples as much as the thin stuff.

I go for the small stuff most of the time, makes for a cleaner look... inner diameter doesn't effect performance at all. I just have way too many rolls of the large neon stuff laying around.

I agree and like the clear tubing myself for the simple fact of seeing the fuel move into the carb (when in question). Ithink I have the same fuel line on most of my RCCArs, some of which are 10+ yrs old.
