Freestyle For real?!?!~Rosie's Official WDK R.I.P build thread ~
- Thread starter Roseand
- Start date
Yesterday I drilled pole bracket, attempted making a backing plate but my cutoff wheel didn't do crap to the stainless I had, and met a local guy to grab some parts I needed and called it a night... Waiting on my pole before I drill the cable hole in the bracket so I know it's perfectly in line. Order placed with jetmaniac for everything else I need so this weekend will be a ton of building and updates. Right now I'm working on finishing a psych paper, circuits lab report, and statics homework that's due tomorrow lol
Damn, with how school's going I'm skeptical about being finished with this build soon. Next two weekends will be solid working on it for sure.
Question :
Why not run a pfp style waterbox with a B pipe if you have lots of room in the side of your ski?

Good question, but your back pressure would be effected by amount of hose needed to wrap around to connect to it. Plus the Box might now work good with your FPP.
True. I wonder if anybody has done it.

Why not just run a normal waterbox? Works just fine with mod chamber.
We'll see if a stock tank fits. Only reason I want to do stock tank is because I can always partially fill it, and some of the rides and places I go to have long channels so I'll need some extra fuel.

I dont see why a stock tank wouldnt fit. I was able to fit a Limited Slip 5 gallon tank in my RIP with mod chamber and normal waterbox.

Slosh. Be sure to run tank foam.
On a serious note, could you run 2 kart tanks inline and make one removable.

I honestly thought about doing this.... but dont think you could be able to get them to fit right.

Tygon, Take it away................ Seriously. Crap turns brown and hard as hell.
Been running it forever with no issues whether it be in my ski or in all the equipment at our business.. Never seen it turn brown and hard
Just gotta find a fuel compatible resin and layup your own tank to whatever size you need.. That would be awesome and relatively easy.. Or learn how to weld aluminum.

I looked into this route but There are no resins cureently available that will not fail from ethanol. You will need to run ethanol free with vinyl ester or a tank bladder, per the seemingly infinite experience of pat at fgci.
Can't handle ethanol but can handle race gas?

forgot about you get it at cost. takes about a year or so, then it turns. may turn at different rate depending on qty of gas.
