I'm using the yellow container and the one with a hose. I turn the knob and light the torch end. I can crank up or down the fuel as I want. Edit: This would be the one I use and this is the progress so far. I'm still looking for an oven for my powder coating kit.  Last edited by Cloak; 03-08-2007 at 10:53 PM. |

That's a nice compact torch setup. Like the newb I am, I was picturing this huge tank and hose setup. That's not too bad at all. I could squeeze that into the garage somewhere. The chassis looks great so far. Can't wait to see it coated. Man, I missed out on crawling with you guys again this past weekend! Birthday party overload. I swear I will make it next time. Keep up the good work man! |

Lots of little steps later, and we have: - Touched up here and there on the brazes. Cleaned them out a little more. They could have used more work but oh well - Powder coated the frame - Mounted up that sideways servo - Made up panels - Made up electonics mount (lexan with mounting points on the chassis) - Redid those shocks. I went back to the old ones I had that were a touch longer. I didn't need the extra travel, what I did need were shocks that didn't leak all over the place. They made a huge mess on my work table. - Axial beadlocks with 5oz of green airsoft bbs in there On to the pic, then my camera battery died, so only one.  |

I was very happy with this rig. I decided to run it at our comp last minute today. I placed 4th. Keep in mind, 4th place was 1 point from the tied 2nd and 3rd and 9 points away from 1st. It performs wonderfully. I would probably redo the shocks and only put 3000 wt oil in. I was hurt by the lack of belly clearance, but it was wonderful for going over our bridge. The low down cog won me $5 off ColquitCustom405.  |

Seemed to work fine, the only problem I had at all was the fact that I didn't cover my rear links. They bit me in the butt on one obstacle, actually. I was doing better than anyone else up to that point and I pointed out on that course because of it. | |
