thanks man!

Thanks man! I appreciate the feedback

That's a good idea. Do you have a screen protector that you're using? Can you send a link?

I'm afraid I can't give you any recommendations based on personal experience. I'm always trying to avoid this because the sharp shoulder makes it harder to carve. The early OW tires were just standard kart tire which they try to keep as flat as possible for maximum contact patch. I would look for an 11x7-5. The 7" width with give you maximum stability, assuming your OW can handle it. Is this for a GT, or did you get a 5" hub for your XR? Hoosier makes an 11x7.1-5 that will fit on the gt and has got to be super stable. cometkartsales.com/collections/tires/products/hoosier-r55-11x7-10-5-slick-tire. There's also a burris tx11 if you want treaded. cometkartsales.com/collections/tires/products/burris-11x7-00-5-tx-11. Good luck. Let me know what tire you end up going with and how you like it.

@@irionmotorsports Hi. Thanks so much for your reply. First, I am a dumb ass, I said "Float Life" variant of the tire, I meant "Flight Fins" - they did a collaboration with Hoosier and made a unique tire. I guess this was much more rounded. I have 3 x XR's now - quite ridiculous because I just keep using the V1 with my 11"x6.0-6 Hoosier tire. I love the stability of this tire. I keep using the V1 as it is so beaten up that I don't care what happens to it... but it just keeps going. And the weather can be quite awful here in the UK (I live in Oxfordshire) and I don't stress about the rain/snow/mud, etc. and I don't mind if it eventually breaks - and if I get hauled up by the police and the board is taken from me, then it's probably less than £500 that I'll lose. They are illegal in the UK. And I want to finally break 10,000 miles too... and I'm at about 9.5k at the moment. So my goal is to move to the XR's. I don't have anything else and don't want to go for the GT's etc, as there is no way I want to get involved in "bricking" it due them being awkward with the newer models - as in they have "locked them down" - a bit like the iPhones from what I understand. I haven't bought a 5" hub yet - partly due to them always being "sold out" and partly because I don't know which one to get. 1WheelParts or Float Life? I don't know. But the added tire wall and sponginess looks very cool to me - and I'm just trying desperately to figure out what to buy. My main concern is the tire, as I don't want it to be too "carvy" as I find it a bit too much (feels like the tire is like a ball). I prefer it being planted and going straight is more preferential to me. Thanks again for your comments - I really appreciate your help! All the best, Duncan.

Thanks man! I thought it was going to be a quick 20min project, but it ended up turning into a learning experience.

@irionmotorsports 👍👍you got 'er👊

Yeah, I didn't like their panel and I run all ge panels here. You can run as many circuits as you want. You're just don't want more load on the sub panel than what your pack or packs can handle. It's not like it will hurt anything, it will just trip your breaker and then you won't have backup power.

Thanks man!

Yeah, my house always uses more than the solar can produce. There were a few sunny days when I was away and had shut down everything that wasn't essential, where I overproduced.

Yeah, so could anyone with a sledgehammer. Those screws have nuts on the backside, so they won't just come right out nice and easy. I don't remember if they were lock nuts or not, but if you were worried about it you could install locknuts. Then there would be no way you could get them off without getting to the backside.

haha, thanks man

Yes, that's the primary use for these. The one thing you can't do is charge via ac while connected to the smart panel. I.E. you couldn't use a small generator to charge it while it runs your panel.

You would only run them in parallel. Do not run them in series. You can run as many as you want on each port, but you're going to get diminishing returns after 2. The f3800 will only pull up to 25amps. Since the 560w panels have a maximum output of 13.3a which means in full direct summer sun 2 panels will put out up to 26.6a which is more than the power pack can draw. However mornings, evenings, winter and cloudy days will not give you full power. If you ran 3 panels on each port you would produce more power in non-direct sunlight, but on sunny days, you wouldn't be able to make use of all of the wattage that the panels are capable of producing. Does that make sense? It would be easier to explain if I had as whiteboard.

You have to purchase the second cable. They cost $99. The only exception might be if you buy the bundle that has 2 f3800's and a smart home power kit.

The bundle has it all

Thanks man! I have the goggles 3 and new controller now. They've made some nice improvements on the new model.

With some more testing a figured out that I need a bypass, but I was able to use a simple one way valve to another air filter. There's a part 2 video that covers the original bypass, and then I refined it and piped it into a single large air cleaner in another video. It works awesome now. I've got about 10 races on it, and I finished 6th overall in the line mtn series this year. I almost never use wide open throttle, it's just too much.

@@irionmotorsports Wow I see. Still I bet it rarely opens right? I'll watch the later vids later on, thanks. Also I realised this is the perfect setup for uniflow 2-strokes (Detroits & alike), you no-longer have issues of varying airflow as the supercharger keeps it constant while the efficiency overall after turbo spools-up is very high, I'm surprised it hasn't been done before, though I guess since the Roots Detroits used in turbo engines don't actually generate boost I guess it might be completely different to any other twin-charge setup & not really comparable. It's certainly a fascinating topic.

@bo-dine7971 No, it actually opens pretty quick when I get after it. There's no AFC controls in the fuel pump and I've got large injectors. With all this fueling and the fact that there's no lag, the turbo spools quickly and overtakes the supercharger.

Yes, you can get 12kw out of two, but that’s the maximum. You can’t tie 3 of them together.

I’ll check that one out.👍

Yes, it will only draw as much amperage as it needs. Another way to look at it is the voltage is determined by the solar panels, but the amperage is determined by the anker and limited by the solar panels. Does that make sense?

@@irionmotorsports the reason i ask is solar panels are hard to find. The anker has a max of 27 amps so even if i had panels at 28-29 amps it would be limited to the anker unit 27 amps limit?

@@LukeGibbsSCyes, you just never go over voltage and slight over amp is fine

Nice! Good luck man. 👍

It's got the gm 14 bolt front and rear with dana 60 kingpins. The spindles and hubs are dana 60s front and back. That way I'm using the same parts all of the way around. Also, using d60 spindles in the rear means I can replace the spindle easily if it get damaged, and the rear axles are full float instead of semi float.

@@irionmotorsports 👍👍ten four sounds like a durable set up ..glad it works good for you 👍👍👊

I didn't think of that. It would be a great way to get your engine cleaned up cheap. I usually send it to a machine shop and get it surfaced and pressure checked if I have it to that point though.

@@irionmotorsports 👍👍...it was a engine parts that were lying around for year's and all rusty

Thanks man!

Sorry man, I don't have time to make them. You should be able to have any local machine shop make them for you. Tell them to get in touch if they have any questions.

I pay for the mid tier package, because I like to download offline maps for the area that I'm racing. I could work around it by hotspotting before the race and loading the map, but if something goes wrong I'm going to lose my map. I don't even need a gps for the races i'm doing now. I mostly use it so my co-driver an I are practiced up in case we ever get out to KOH. I think it's worth having if you're racing or off-roading in places that don't have cellular. There are plenty of other gps apps that you can use that have free, or cheaper off road maps, but I haven't found one that works with my Dual XGPS160 satellite receiver, and the ipad doesn't refresh fast enough for racing. You could always try it for a year and see how much you use it.

@irionmotorsports Thanks again man! That is the exact info we were looking for. We owe you one bud!

Thanks man! Anker has some really good sales on their solix units. If you're getting one from them wait for a good deal.

Thanks man! Glad it was helpful.

Sorry man, I can't. I just do fabrication for fun. I'm busy with my full time job 50-60hrs a week, plus dealing with kids and keeping my racecar running. If you get into it and have any questions, I'm happy to help.

Probably, depends on the motor and what you're looking to accomplish.

I think it's only for the 5' bed. If you want more info, you should send them an email. It's possible they may be coming out with one in the future.

Sure thing! Thanks

Thanks 👍

Nice, have fun!

Thanks, man!

Did you watch the whole video? I'm pretty sure I showed the air system install towards the end of the video.

I just use the cnc tip with the recommended consumables. It should have the part numbers on top of the machine and in the manual.

Yeah, it was the combination of the extra hp and weight. I was regularly exceeding 25k, sometimes as high as 30k. You could do that with a stock truck without issues, but when you add 200-300 hp it doesn't hold up. The np 205 is the toughest transfer case that ever came stock in a vehicle. I run one in my race car too, and I've never had a single issue with them.

Yeah, they're the yukon chromoly 35 spline

Thanks! I have the Avata 2 now with the new goggles and RC. They have really good sales on the combo. It's a really nice setup if you can swing it. The only downsides of the avata 2 is the single axis stabilization and short battery life.

Haha, I'd forgotten about that. I had to go watch the video again.

That's something that I considered, but there's not much of an advantage in this case and lots of downside. This motor puts out more hp than I need, so I don't need the little bit that I would gain from a dry sump. The weight difference would be negligible. The biggest downside is adding a number of high probability failure points to my car. I would have to a scavenge pump with a belt drive to the bottom of my motor where mud and rocks could get in. If that belt gets destroyed I'm done. There's also a whole bunch more hoses and fittings that can fail. The whole point of using a Cummins in the first place is the simplicity and durability. Also, I'm a cheap SOB.

Thanks!

I just found some roof racks laying outside my shop one day. They had been sitting there for nearly a year, so I made up some adapters to make them fit the cap. I think OVS is supposed to be coming out with roof racks for these caps.

Thanks man, just finished my first race since this project, and had no issues. 👍

@@irionmotorsports Wonderful to know. Thanks for the update

Actually, I do specialty hardwoods. I do all of the fabrication and equipment maintenance in house, so I've been building and expanding the shop for the last 20 years. Most of the equipment I picked up cheap at auction and fixed up. Never had anyone to teach me how to use them. I just picked it up one project at a time. Watched a bunch of youtube videos.

Thanks 👍
