Custom/Hybrid SpaceCowboy's EME Aerial 8 Build

SpaceCowboy

breaking something
Mocked up a few things today

The SXR wetpipe actually fits really nicely in there along with my 2 gallon tank. The way I want to install it will allow me to remove the fuel cell without removing the motor and pipe!

Threw in a battery just to see how it would fit

A little teaser for Wednesday's job of putting in that sexy Blowsion pole. I have a feeling this will be a big PITA!

Other updates:
- My Jet Dynamics intake grate I sent back in due to the front and back mounts being off from each other. John Zigler at Watcon/RCJS called up Jet Dynamics and they looked at a few more from the lot and they are all bad! Something with the mold is bad....so I'm getting a Worx WR222 grate.

- My mag pump seems to have some play in it. I wasn't sure if the prop was tight and it has a huge allen on teh back to keep the shaft from rotating. So when I'm at work tomorrow and I'm going to pull the impeller out and try to figure out why there is play in it. I really hope I don't have to sit around to figure out what is wrong with this pump. I'm still hoping the impeller just isn't seated tight on the shaft.

- This weekend I'm going to see if i can con a few buddies into helping me turf this bad boy since I have never done any turfing except for on a X2 with the 3M adhesive pre-cut kit.

- Going to work on making my fuel tank bracket and Ebox mount this week.

- I'm trying to avoid buying and expensive water box and have one all bent up just need to weld it up.

Builds coming along great man. Do yourself a favor and slide the rest of that pole in the base and set it on the hood if you haven't already. Mine looked plum/squared at the brackets but was just a hair off which equated to about an inch off center at the bars. Didn't affect the ride but bugged the hell out of me until I fixed it .

Nice looking build! The ATP waterbox fits nicely up in front, but it's pretty loud with the 2.5" pipe going out the rear. I've got a RN waterbox I'm going to swap. Something about that bulldozer sound that just rocks though...

coming along Luke, I am surprised your battery fits like that, with the Yamaha motor the battery is vertical.

Also as far as getting the tank out with the engine and pipe in, good luck! but if you can make it work Kudos!

kawi motor sits further back in the eme hull...should be no problem. that is why swanny could run a sxr tank when he had the 800 in his and had to switch when he went over to yami power

right so more room up front for the fuel tank, but the battery mounted that way in the back as well (mine stands up on its side vertically).

We are talking a Q8 vs Aerial 8

We need them side by side for a tape measure war

true didnt think there was any difference in the engine bay, but we are finding out otherwise. Could also be a difference of when they were made :)

Should I bring it over just for an EME display? lol
