Technical Performance
The Fastrax Superflex Silicone Tubing represents the engineering standards you'd expect from a trusted RC parts manufacturer. Silicone tubing offers superior chemical resistance compared to standard rubber tubing, which is critical when dealing with the aggressive solvents found in nitro fuel mixtures. The Superflex designation indicates enhanced flexibility characteristics, meaning the tubing won't crack or become brittle when stored in cold conditions or when exposed to temperature fluctuations common in the UK climate. The one-metre length provides ample material for most RC nitro applications, from small-scale RC cars to larger RC truggies and bashers. The smoke colour not only enhances the visual appeal of your RC model's fuel system but also allows you to monitor fuel levels and flow characteristics as you operate your vehicle. For any RC enthusiast running nitro-powered models, having quality fuel tubing is essential for maintaining reliable engine performance and preventing fuel system leaks that can compromise both your vehicle and the surrounding environment.
