no need traxxas gives out fiberglass heat shieding tube

Heat shield tubing, fiberglass (2) (yellow).......part no. 3149...........1.50
Heat shield tubing, fiberglass (2) (Black).......part no. 3149...........1.50

i like the black better, no difference in performance, and it depends on what color fuel line you run,

mine is neon green, so black looks best

Wrapping fuel line around the head is a bad idea. You want to keep the fuel as cool as possable before it enters the carb. Besides, the Revo has a couple of clips near the roll bar to hold a couple of loops of fuel line, why would you even want it wrapped around the head?????

True, although you might not want to get the fuel too hot before it enters the engine
