RB innovations aluminum fuel lines





RB's Braided covers

Don't worry about trying to reinvent the wheel. The fancy fuel line will be of no benifit. Just use standard line and replace it every so often and you wont have any dramas.

It would be a HUGE pain in the booty to try and resolve an issue, if you can't even tell weather you're getting fuel or not. Save the Bling Fuel Lines for a shelf queen that serves no other purpose but to look pretty.

I agree with Foamy. The first thing I check before firing up my losi is that the fuel has reached the carb. If you cant see whether the carb has fuel or not, it will be difficult to eliminate problems when you are having diffuculty in trying fire up a car.

I use black (1:1) fuel hose for the pressure line just because I like black, heh. But I still keep a clear fuel line on there because it makes starting soooo much easier. Plus its easy to pop on and off when servicing the buggy, which would be a pain with hardlines.


I honestly can't think of any practical reason to use hardlines. Braided lines maybe if you are running through alot of brush or sticks that could cut / tear the soft lines, but you still have the problem of not being able to see inside the lines.

Well said!!

Agree with you all...

The only time I would use that stuff is if I was building a show car (and what would be the fun in that). If your really wanting to use it though, just get one for the pressure line.

I would definitly go with the standard fuel line.

allright thanks for the comments. regular line it is if i ever run across some and there is no hasel i may get it for the pressure line thanks again. good points
