PL Replacement Spars - Carbon tube

macboy - 12-1-2009 at 02:27 PM

Okay, finally got the carbon tube to replace the spars on the v16. I haven't confirmed but I'm assuming the cap is in the pocket attached to the straps. Trouble is I don't have caps for the other ends. Are they required and if so, what can a guy use? I was looking at the fuel bottle tip cover for my nitro cars and that looks like the same thing but it's way too small. Maybe just repeated dips in plastidip would do the trick?
