Soft Nitro fuel lines?

[jlobbia]

Hey guys, I have a tmaxx that I picked up a few months ago. I noticed that the fuel lines were significantly softer than any of the ones on my other trucks. This helps me stop the engine easier by pinching the fuel line with my finger. I actually made a engine remote killswitch with a servo pinching the fuel line, hooked up to a toggle switch on my radio. I currently use du bro tubing and it is extremely hard to pinch. Traxxas fuel tubing is the hardest out of all of them. Can anyone tell me if there is a good, soft and easy to pinch fuel line on the market? Thanks.

IMO that's not a good way to stop the engine, as it causes it to run very lean for a few seconds and causes damage. It's much safer and easier to put your finger over the exhaust to stall it.

It's only for like two seconds. Plus I like to hear how the low speed is doing.

Not sure if this might be soft enough for what you are looking for but its what I use and I pinch it to kill the engine.

I think that is the same du bro tubing that was wayyy too hard to pinch... But it might be different. I'll see if I can try it out. Thanks.
