Planet Minis - View Single Post - Earl's Plumbing 101 for oil coolers and breather lines

FYI, I just took delivery on a GPX160 motor that I plan to upgrade to a v2 177. The oil cooler appears to be a decent enough item, but the lines are completely unacceptable. I have enough Earl's hose from last setup, but I'm going to have to buy fittings.

If any of you guys are running a GPX and using those brake line hoses, you should seriously consider upgrading. That GPX oil pump puts out about 3x as much oil as a HV in a stock 50 base motor. Take advantage of that with the bigger lines.
