Team Associated Factory Team 500cc Pro fuel bottle

Team Associated have introduced the Factory Team 500cc Pro fuel bottle. This 500cc size will fill a 125cc buggy fuel tank four times before needing refilling, leaving time to focus on more urgent pitting tasks. A rubber cap prevents contamination and evaporation of contents and the bottle is measured from 50cc to 500cc in 50cc increments while a long, strategically curved neck provides easy reach of fuel tank opening.
