fuel guard?

[skeeter1255]

i was reading and rc car magazine and its was listing the 10 top things to have for runnning for an hour and it they had a fuel gueard not a fuel tank protector but a fuel guard in which when you put the fuel in the tank if some may spill it wont hit the servos or reciever... does any one have one or heard of it ... i would really like one an the case that sometimes fuel spills on my servos.
which usually happens.

Are you talking about the splash gaurd found on most 1/8th Nitro Buggies?

I have not heard of one but I don't look.

I've not even heard of a splash guard for the RC10GT. If you're having fuel come out when you're running, may want to check the spring and seal on your fuel tank lid. I have a RC10GT and never have an issue with fuel splashing out of the tank.

Just an idea...cut up a piece of lexan as a shield and secure it to the chassis with servo tape. Or get a fuel bottle and take your time refueling. If you are racing I'd look into this.
