2021 Revolver pro V2

[InsaneFMX]

just received the first Revolver Pro V2 today . I'm excited to get this build going i have 95% of all the parts i need to start this adventure. Building my XFS G2 over Christmas i learned a few do's and dont's lol. i only opened the box at the farm today n brought it home once i get a space set up will start the build. just got my motor back from DASA for the ninja porting but now just matching everything else up like the exhaust manifold and intake manifold. ill post the progress the next few weeks.I have a MSD total loss for this unit but i just picked up the new California Freestyle total loss 2 coil set up to try out. i have a complete torrent ninja pump set up with raptor trim that i was going to use but not sure now as i bought a Bun pump and trim that's set up like Lee's. so i will try both and see what set up i like better and will post on this one. i plan to do a comparison of the two ski setups as well, which is why i have the second ninja pump to have two identical setups ( except hulls) to understand the differences

the factory manifold is restricting you can see the bevel they put on it to match the ports i forgot to measure it before i started but im guessing it was close to 46mm n i have to get it to almost 51mm. and the outlet side to the expansion chamber is 3mm too small as well. few more hours yet on just this manifold lol

 

[InsaneFMX]

some of the parts I've been collecting the last few months for this thing

Going to be a sick ski! I love my Pro Series, can’t wait to see it progress

 

[InsaneFMX]

lol got the exhaust manifold done now onto cleaning up the cases and ports lol
takes some time to get the rough out and cleaned up, the left pics is roughed up n right 3 are smoothed out.

 

[InsaneFMX]

now starting the process of polishing the tool marks out of the cases

 

[mikidymac]

You don't want the intake side polished smooth, just the exhaust side of the engine.

spent an hour and quickly fabricated a beach cart to hold the new hull, then decided to make up a water distribution manifold

 

[InsaneFMX]

a bit more progress over the last month still a few more parts waiting for then hope to have it ripping this weekend

 

[InsaneFMX]

little more

 

[InsaneFMX]

motor assembly

 

[InsaneFMX]

sliding the engine in and mock up for the components to make sure strap points work

 

[InsaneFMX]

finished up the tray

 

[InsaneFMX]

forgot to upload more as i pieced it together , i fab'd up a quick water distribution bar. my bun trim came in before the test ride so i swapped it over. and still waiting on my thrust 2 gal feel cell so tossed in my spare cart tank to take if for a break in period

 

[InsaneFMX]

got it wet for the first time to figure out what needs to be changed. what a huge difference in hulls from the 2020 XFS ninja to the 2021 V2 revolver . different stance , the cock pit is further back . you stand lower in the water on the revolver and it rides a bit nose high compared. the V2 is aggresive to ride and reacts to minimal inputs and is twitchy, as it turns sharp and now. it flips fast even on my rich fuel first ride to break in the motor , so it was a bitt boggy. I didn't have time to tinker with it as i skipped work to try it out lol. but i did have to shorten the pole length ( there brackets now touch to keep my weight more forward), i ran the SE 50 carbs stock together a base point. but ended up leaning out the bottom end ( smaller needle and bigger spring) and went up on the main jet). I remapped the curve to be more aggressive as well . as my pump and prop setup between the two units are completely different. i hope to take it out again this weekend to get some more tray time on it and figure it out

 

[InsaneFMX]

so finally got my babies out together to really test them together. i can't wait to do an unbiased write up of these things this winter, as
they both are great units and have different strengths and weaknesses but nothing major just preference

 

[johnmarchetta34]

Cannot wait to see a comparison. Both top natch builds.
