Inexpensive fuel line clamps.

Again, can't take credit for this one either. Saw it in one of my R/C mags. Pictures of the process are always nice. I used to use plastic zip ties but they often cut into the tubing. A few inches of tubing needed for the bands are way cheaper than zip ties and you don't need to cut the bands like you might the zip ties.

Dude this idea belongs in the GC thread about [CONTEST] The most wild and innovative R/C Modification... It's way more user friendly than small zip ties.

Excellent tip.

OMG, you guys haven't done this yet?

FastEddy told us all about it sooooo long ago. Here is an old old pic of my buggy.

I thought this tip was old school.

You're forgiven for the stupid question. I'll let militarymaxx's original words answer the question for you.

Not a bad idea. I use metal clips I got in the airplane section. They were realiively cheap.

Don't feel that way Fast. I'm sure all of us have re-invented the wheel once or twice in here. Maybe RCNT could create a FAQ forum. A place where newbies could go before they ask the "man, this has been asked so many times" question. Sorry if I stepped on anyones toes. I have only been in the sport about 6 months, very new to Nitro so I'm still playing catchup on many of the threads. So, to all you newbies out there, let it be known that FastEddy came to my house and showed me how to do the fuel line trick (LOL). Most of us in here know who the 'go to guys' are and I consider you one of them. K, I'll pry my lips off your arse now.

Aww it was just starting to feel good.....

Thats ok I stole it from an old timer at the LHS.

I have used metal clips in the past and found them to cut the line given time.
