Heat protection?
Hi
Is there anything that I would be able to put on the Fuel tuning for my T-MAXX3.3 cause the pressure line touchest the header and the thing that traxxas already put there is melting. is there anything else that I can put there instead?
thanks

it sounds like your engine is really hot. the pressure line is silicone and is very heat resistant. it takes a lot to melt. richen you car just a little. maybe that will do something.

just keep the line a few cm's away from the head.....I've never had a fuel line melt on me yet but I have melted 2 of those heat shield things..

I already have one of these on and this is the thing that is melting, Now I assume that its supposed to PREVENT the pressure line from melting? Is there any "heat resistant" tape that I can buy at a Home depot?
