Pro Tip for RC Cats Ignitors

[RaceMechaniX]

Anyone who has one is probably familiar with how quick nitro destroys the case leading to cracking and further frustration. I found that clear PVC battery shrink tubing will protect the ignitor from nitro and save your case for years of further trouble free usage. I also punched a hole in the outer case to allow charging without removing the case. The pics show mine after 3 years of use on the same case. I believe I used 3” shrink but don’t have anymore to measure.

When I got my rubber cover I wondered why they didn't add the charge plug hole. I also drilled a hole for that purpose. Good idea on the shrink wrap solution.
