New 3/5 Gallon Tanks for TNT, RRP, PFP & B-pipe

[LimitedSlip7]

Would anyone be interested in testing a waterbox? I've been kicking this idea around for quite some time but haven't had the motivation to finish it up. Finally added a few sets of prototype parts to the last batch of tanks and just tacked one up for bench testing. The idea was to try and design a small waterbox that could fit in anything but still flow well, is quiet, and prevents water from rushing back up the exhaust.

I've got two of them that I can send out and would prefer a tester that rides in salt a lot. I would offer either half off on a production box (if they actually work well enough to make them) or let you keep the prototype. I would need the prototype back for inspection after a month or two of riding but could ship it back to you after.

Here's a few pics. Changes will be made as testing continues of course, so this definitely isn't the final version.

That is a pretty slick design

Looks like a great design, and if the build quality is like your tanks, I'll buy one.

I'll test but not salt... Rrp and 1200

 

[jo5hi3]

I would be game.... 1105 tnt pipe, few salt rides a year.

Send one to josh. We could test fit in several different hulls. I'm looking for something shorter that I don't have to wedge into the side of my hull. The flapper might help keep from flooding the water box when you do a 180 slide.

What's the flapper made out of?

I think that the flapper will keep from filling motors full of water.......

We can only hope.

That was my thinking, if I can make it durable enough. I hate the rubber flappers on scuppers because they degrade and fail so quickly. Of course with the aluminum you have to worry about metal fatigue from it slamming open/shut. May need to reinforce a few points. The prototype flapper is made from .120 thick 5052 aluminum.

I need one in my ski asap. I have filled many motors with water and it's a huge pain to get the rubber tubing right so it doesn't happen.

Wow! That's an awesome idea and design! Have been kicking around some ideas but this looks like something that could work @LimitedSlip7

 

[Sasquachcrap]

I think that a think stainless flange that is held loosely with a stainless through bolt might last and not corrode.

All saltwater riding for me!

How do i go about ordering one

 

[cam_lg]

Has anyone installed one of the 4.7 gallon tanks in a Krash 50 Cal yet?

Yes, I do believe there has been at least one. Money back if it doesn't fit. What pipe are you running?



I'll have these two extra waterboxes finished up within a week. I'll PM you guys to set up some testing!

 

[cam_lg]

ive got the c4 chamber, but thinking about switching to B pipe

I am interested in one of your 4.7 gal tanks with a battery tray, can you email me at cr125r_2005@hotmail.com please?
