What do you guys think? Would this work for my 8ight buggy??

ps. I have already ordered this so if nobody knows the outcome, I guess I will be the first to try, lol
If you look in your losi manual you will see a small right angled attachment that could be used for a quick change fuel line. This part is included with new losis. Not that i have looked although i have never seen anybody use one nor have i. Once you exchange your old line for new a couple times it becomes much easier. Its really not that bad and i suggest using the original method without the attachment.
