For the 8T 2.0 roller, the only must haves are AL servo horn, AL servo saver top arm, and AL rear bear inserts. Other then that, the EU foams cut to 5mm, then drill a small hole in the shock cap and your golden.
I completely agree with you. Those coolers and filters will only pose problems for you. My tank with the line straight to the engine and the clunk removed always passes 2-5cc under the limit.

Thank you..that's my opinion also..and guys..really..the added fuel from a filter is what about 20 to 30 feet....and all the fuel cooler does is lighten your wallet by about $10 bucks..your first clue should be integy makes one....
One last "thing" ever notice that the Helicopter guys DON'T use hitec servos..servo failure in a Helicopter always results in a crash..

why do you care what we do?....its not your truck so dont worry about it....he asked a question and i answered for him.....i am not trying to start a war...but when someone asks a question they do not want to be frowned upon or flamed........the only reason you get air leaks is cause you do not check your truck very often....ive been running the same filter and cooler for 3/4 of a year and not 1 leak!...air or fuel....my truck, my $, my decision....oh and i didnt pay for my filter/cooler set.....sorry but it is getting a little old, when some one asks a question and everyone starts telling them they are DUMB( not in those words) for doing what they did or for even thinking about it....forum is for helping,tips.

Another +1 there! Keeping the fuel system as simple as possible is best. You will just create more areas for an air leak to arise when adding inline accessories. There is already a fuel filter in your tank. No need for an inline one. Just remove the plastic block inside the tank and you'll be good to go. The exhaust cooler does absolutely nothing so don't waste your money.

i know they are just nobodies, but Billy Fischer and Casey Peck have extensively tested novarossi exhaust coolers and found them to give around 10 extra seconds on run time on nova engines.
Flame away.

EXACTLY!....ive seen alot of BIG NAME racers running the coolers...and the filter came with it...and i got them all for free...so why not run them?...i will keep running them till they leak air or fuel...then i will just change the orings on the filter and still run it!

I get an extra 2 minutes with my turbo exhaust cooler bearing, when used with the muffler bearing.

Yes for them, the Pro's who have everything setup completely perfect already and have their tune spot on, you may see a teeny tiny bit of fuel mileage improvement. By setup I mean Clutch setup, carb insert, pipe, header, drivetrain, gearing, tune, tune balance, Idle gap, plug, fuel, Radio setup, etc... If you've got all of that perfect like those guys do, then maybe the 10 seconds you get is worth it. If you're like most of us, then that 10 seconds means nothing. There is far more risk of a failure with extra unnecessary accessories in your fuel system. I've seen the problems that come from these things and I say no thank you. I would much rather finish a race than get an extra 10 seconds. There are many other things you can do to up your runtime that are far more effective with less risk of causing a problem.
