REVO Fuel Line
Is there a specific reason that the REVO fuel line is so long and coiled? Can the line be run straight from the tank to the carb?

It can but it is coiled like that to allow for it to stay running when it is overturned. You run it straight and it will die shortly after rollin over.

i think the feul line is that long to help stablize the fuel pressure as it enters the carb, this way it is easier to tune, and isnt so eratic.

Well, my fuel line has a slight arch, but... it's straight from the tank to the carb.... and it will stay running upside down... long enough for me to get to it!

I have my fule line on my car going directly to the engine from the tank. it does stall after about 10 secconds but I keep the ez start in my pocket so it is easy to start back up.

Yep, and I left my fuel line alone on my revo, it has ran for 30-45 seconds before for me. When it flips I casually walk to it. Hell of a lot easier then runnin my ass off like I did with my axis.
