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.
