I have the Honda version with training wheels,a trx450,it has been problem free since 04'.It's going to self destruct now! I have heard that there are two models now,a race version,and an enduro version.The race Tie valves,enduro,stainless valves.Tie valves lots-o-adj.stainless not so much.The...
Cut that valve lapping tool (good idea) in half stick it in your drill,or drill press,some coarse compound and I bet that would ROCK on a curved surface. I'd like to see a tank done that way.

If I was going from pex to copper,I'd try to put that connection in an accesible location.It seems wierd to me to have a connection other than a soldered one where you couldn't get to it.
I've done a few,and it's allways better to build with a known unit than to go off a measurement. Some tanks have more of a bead,some are plastic,and different alltogethor. It's nice to have everthing to mock up while fabbing,it will pay off in the end. If you build off measurements you might...
I wasn't aware that it was called engine turning. I've been doing that at work here and there,it comes out allright.On a flat piece of sheet that wooden dowel trick would be great,but on a tank,I'd use a small course scotch-brite pad on a 90 deg. diegrinder.I've been using the center of the...
Very nice collection of crawlers! Good job on the J***p,gotta be careful with that one here.I've been wanting to see the new AX chassis,want to do a scaler also.

It's bolted to the rear of the frame,in ten places. The back of the bumper has 3/8" plate mounts that give spacing over the rivots,and when welded to the bumper give 5/8" of threaded holes.The license plate will be remounted to the sheetmetal under the icechest.It all opens with one adjustable...
He runs 36"s most of the time,the 38"s are his snow tires. He wanted it to mount up when he got a spare,but will keep a 36" on most of the time. As far as solid,I built one for my dads J**oops and he has pulled a heavily loaded trailer through the Rubicon at least three times with no issues.You...
Well here's my last bumper project. It's based off a Butch Built design that I'm modifing for personal preferance.This one was built for a rig used in search & rescue,and has high antenna mounts,factory tailight holes,will also hold ice chest,two jerrys,and a spare up to the 38" seen on the rig...
:D Cool,Corey at RPP Hobbies is a great guy! That is our local crawler shop.Just picked up a Venom Creeper from him for the boy,and a dig unit for me.;)
I'll try to get some pics up of my collection this evening. We just picked up a used DX-2 for $99.00 for my boy,unfortunately he got a crawler and will need a third channel sometime.There's alot of used radio equipment out there,check around.;)
