Brilliant RC 200cc nitro fuel gun

New from Brilliant RC comes a handy fuel gun made from high-quality materials. Thanks to the short front body and the ergonomic design of the handle the gun allows for easy and swift refuelling while minimising the chances of errors during pitting at the same time. The optimised, extra short nozzle with integrated auto-stop ensures a maximum filling of the tank and an extra large intake makes it very easy to fill the 200cc reservoir of the gun which also features easy to read volume markings down the side. The cap is attached to the body by a chain so it cannot get lost and the cap and all other necessary areas the fuel gun are sealed using high quality O-rings to prevent the gun from leaking. Included are two suitable stays to place the gun when not in use.

Pro-Line limited edition Fuel Stick

Pro-Line introduce the “very limited edition” Fuel Stick. Used in Ty Tessmann’s dominating performance at the 2014 IFMAR Buggy Worlds, the Fuel Stick is designed as a no expense spared successor to the original Pro-Line Fuel Gun. Built for ultra-fast refuelling, the nozzle tip is also designed to fill the tank completely. The diffuser screen covering the outlet prevents excess splashing and prevents large bubbles from forming during filling. The vertical trigger orientation makes refuelling a truck or buggy more ergonomic especially when doing so over high pit walls and it is also good for use with 1/8th and 1/10th cars. An easy to read gauge marked in 10cc increments helps to estimate mileage at a glance. Continuing the over-the-top theme, the nozzle and trigger assemblies are made of machined billet aluminium anodised in Pro-Line blue. Each Fuel Stick is stamped with a unique serial number and certificate of authenticity verifying that it was fully made in the USA and hand assembled in Pro-Line’s Southern California headquarters.
