Fastrax 550cc Race fueler fuel bottle

Fastrax release their new 550cc Race fueler fuel bottle. The large size provides more than enough capacity for those long runs at the track or park, while its oval shape and finger recess’ make it easier to hold and refuel at speed. A rubber cap is supplied to close off the aluminium tube when not in use and this can be clipped onto the tube so it does not go missing during race days. Finally a name clip is also included so you no longer have a fellow racer walk off with your bottle at the end of a run in the congested pit area.
