actually the needle settings are all messed up from tweaking to try to get it running so either way it'll need tuned. Also how much back pressure is required to keep the fuel moving? I made some stacks for it but there would be very little to no back pressure if I put them on unless if figure out how to use the muffler with them.

 

normaly there is a bypass line from the muffler that pressurizes the fuel tank at the top. Then you have the line going from the bottom of the tank to the carb. Mine is an Electric start model, I clamp the exhaust tube with my fingers to pressurize the tank and that usualy gets her going after a few hits.

you also have to remember these guys are VERY tempremental to climate changes and there is alot of tweaking of the needles to make sure it is tuned right.

what make is yours? I repowered mine from the stock .15cc 1.33hp to a .25cc 2.5hp OFNA engine.

 

Although I have many, this is my favorite hobby - Big and Lil' on a road trip... (first time trying to attach a pic - hope this shows up!)

Mine is an s-maxx with the 2.5 motor with electric start. Kept on twisting axle shafts so I swapped it to 4wheel drive, now it has a spool in the rear axle. But ever since the 4 wheel drive swap, I haven't been able to get it running. All It does is sputter every once in a while. I got a peterbilt body for it and made a stack for it but could never get it running.

 

Hey - it worked! Big Cummins pulls Little Cummins around until I find a place to unhook and cruise the Dodge.

 

Damn dude, you are my idol !!

I can't wait to someday retire and be able to cruise the country like that. I watch that guy Cliff Clavin from Cheers cruising around visiting factories and I love it.

I can't wait till it's my turn.

 

Brian, that thing got the ISC or ISM???

I bought my t-maxx a long time ago, it was already 4x4, but I havent bothered putting in a spool, she hooks pretty well as is. and for being 18 pounds she'll outrun some of the cars off the line, but the cars QUICKLY catch up since I dont have the top end they do. it's pretty slick watching the two take off. . .front tires of my truck instantly come off the ground and she's walking the back tires thru second the car is about a length and a half back but blows me away as soon as it shifts.

 

I'm betting an isc, my dad has a 40+ footer and it has an isc 330. They make a chip for the isc's

 

I bet you get some awsome MPG with that rig . I am looking at getting a 36-ish-foot 5th wheel. Should I leave the hitch a 5th wheel or convert it to a gooseneck? What are the ups and downs of each?

 

Man you guys are a dangerous crowd. I've never seen as many guns in one place !
Hopoe I don't run into one of you guys on your bad day ...[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]
