T-Works nitro engine pressure box

Coming from T-Works and made for most nitro-engine-powered vehicles is their new pressure box. The accessory was designed to allow for a more even pressure supply between the exhaust pipe, fuel tank, and carburettor, making for improved idling and better overall engine behaviour. The machined aluminium can will be inserted into the pressure line between the exhaust pipe and fuel tank with the box levelling the different pressures that occur at different engine RPM. The box is machined from aluminium, it comes black anodised and with white T-Works logos.
