George said glow plugs twice, Rich. And frosty used to carry 20 feet of fuel line on his Revo at all times!
Joe, You never know if you are gonna be close to an open outlet....a good boy scout is always prepared.

The box is huge! U need an SUV or truck to haul it! LOL!
Looks like it fits everything you need in one convenient spot though. I carry a 3-drawer craftman toolbox, a Wingtote bag (w/monster truck) and a support bag w/other odds & ends. If I bring multiple trucks, I bring multiple Wingtote (or Duratrax) bags with me. alute: Supermaxx-Emaxx w/RacerX Suspension, Gen-IV servo saver, Supershocks, UE Ti Center shafts, 6mm UE CVD's, GA Bulks & Diffs, FLM extended chassis & braces, FLM Diff cups, FLM Transcase, HSR Slipper, NEU BL Motor, MM ESC, and More.REVO 3.3 w/mild mods,[/B], a 570HP Procharged and Intercooled '92 Mustang GT.

Funny thing is.....it wouldn't run at all! The system couldn't push or pull fuel thru that much line.

He was kidding about most of it but the Tylenol is a must.... It sucks to have a headache at the track when you have 100db toys flying around
