Default Line locks

Are there remote line locks available? Ie so the brake line dont have to run inside the car? Where from?

Also, do the ones with a lever mean your able to slowly release pressure to the brake for a nice controlled rolling burnout as the one i bought ages ago is the push button kind which is totaly on/off and now i think about it that doesnt seem as good (tho looks neater).

Anyone know?

Steve, I don't think anyone knows about linelocks!

I guess we need a drag forum.

Where the hell is DannyB when you need him.

Yeah they sell the solenoid valve on its own as well. Mind you it's only an extra US$2 for the rest of the kit. Even though the rest of the kit is only a switch and a scotch lock.

Spikey, is that a line lock or a bias valve?

Ive seen bias valves that look like that too, and TBH it makes a lot more sence to have a bias valve on a rallycar than a line lock...

Mustve used it to help hold the car on the line with the clutch seriously biting at the start of a rally stage.

An EscCos (Unless its a EscCosGTR like Seans, lol) isnt gonna be doing much in the way of burnouts, lol.

Si Norris is using a line lock now to hold the car on the line to launch for the 1/4mile as it was too hard to keep on the spot otherwise
