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 👍

Thanks 😁

Well man, you got lucky. It turns out I still have the slug that I cut out of the center of that plate sitting on my lathe. It is 1.25" thick.

@@irionmotorsports well how about that? I’ve been wanting to do this swap on my 03 commonrail but didn’t wanna put a sae2 bell housing and hack up a bunch of my floor a little bit I can deal with though and how much did you have to shorten your input shaft? If you remember maybe it’s in the video and I didn’t hear it?

I didn't shorten the input shaft at all. I calculated that the 1.25" plate would make it so I wouldn't have to modify to input shaft.

@@irionmotorsports boy that sure is good to know I thought you had shortened it I have looked at so many threads on it it’s been a catastrophe on the hydraulic part do you have the part numbers for the concentric throw out bearing inside the bellhousing?

Yeah it's a0022506615. It's from a mercedes atego. There's a bleeder adapter and a line adapter that they don't usually come with it. If you can find a parts diagram for the atego, it will show you what you need.

Thanks man! It drives me nuts when I watch a tire review and it's just some guy riding it around for 20 min. Appreciate the feedback.

@@irionmotorsports hey man have you ever messed around with making a GTR? I’m curious what the XR hub and tire would feel like on a GT. I might have an option for that before i can save up the money for a 5” hub.

No, the gts is much better suited to the n52 magnets. If you put an XR hub on it you would lose a lot of torque. I'm a heavy rider an often carry heavy items and kids on my onewheel, so the torque is the most important thing for me. I don't have a gt, but you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference in torque. I just don't know if it would be worth it. You're only gaining 1/2" in diameter which is 1/4" of sidewall. If you try it out, let me know how you like it.

My kid has a 16edrive now that he's put well over 800 miles on it. Haven't had any issues other than a broken chain.

Thanks. I tried to spend a little more time explaining things in this video.

Thanks man!

What do you have, and what are you thinking about getting?

No problem!

My parents took it to florida last week. No issues so far. Had a lot of rain and no leaks.

What kind of roof rack do you have on it?

I had some roof racks that someone left outside my shop. I just ripped the feet off of them and made some aluminum brackets. I think OVS is coming out with some roof racks for the cap. I also bought a set of the cheap amazon roof racks for the truck.

No, there is a collar on the bottom (rod) end. The collar slides up and there is a snap ring under it. Once you remove the snap ring, the collar and springs will slide off.

Thanks man. I finally got it off with lots of pb blaster. Its so rusted Im going to have to ship them in this time@@irionmotorsports

Are you sure? The 655 just came out around two weeks ago. I ordered it the day it dropped and made this video the day it arrived. Maybe you had the 555? I agree on the grip. I messaged tfl the other day and they said they will be coming out with a 5" pioneer soon. I'm hoping I can run that year round instead of the vega.

I have the Vega and 555 the only issue I have with the Vega is it's smaller circumference. At 18 my board thought I was at 20 and hitting haptic buzz

There was no way to put a clutch brake in since I used the dodge clutch which is a push style. I just dealt with it. It's not hard to get used to. I would rarely stop at lights. Just put it in first and let it creep. It also didn't take quite as long to slow down as a big truck. Probably to smaller lighter clutch disks helped.

Thanks man! My son is riding the 16e now. He rides it every day. Sometimes we'll go for 12+ miles in one ride. They hold up really well and there's lots of parts available. Sometimes you can find cheap ones on ebay that need a little repair. There's good deals to be found on facebook marketplace too. I picked mine up cheap enough that I can probably sell them in a few years and get most of my money back.

Ok, I've updated it.

No, I haven't. They look fun, but most of the riding I do is offroad. A lot of the trails are really rough.

Thanks!

Thanks man! Is that something you want to see? I always get bored watching videos of people riding their onewheels around. It doesn't seem like you can tell much about the tire from that kind of footage, so I didn't include any.

@@irionmotorsports Yeah, I think you should have ended it with a small trail ride at least! Always like to see what other people are riding. Everyone seems to like riding street, but for me trails are the only way to go. Float on!

That's good feedback. Thanks!

Nice, I've been curious to try the burris tx-22 in the mud. A lot of people have said it's a really good all around tire. I opted for the vega w6 though for the super aggressive tread. It does really well in the mud, snow and ice.

@@irionmotorsports Yea it's probably in between Enduro and Vega/Pioneer. I've ridden Enduro (6.5) and it slips easily on wet grass for example whereas the Burris (tx-22) I have doesn't. Vega probably makes more sense for your riding, sounds like. But I do a lot of pavement so it's nice to have a more hybrid option that feels good on pavement but also bites fairly well into wet grass, soggy gravel, mud, snow. I might still buy Pioneer 5 inch when it becomes available. Next winter I'd run Burris / Pioneer, ditch Enduro for the winter.

Yeah, if TFL came out with a 5" pioneer I would run it all year round.

@@irionmotorsports it’s coming AFAIK !

Yeah, I realized after I made the video that I forgot to talk about psi. I put 15 in it to start, but I'm going to try lowering it and see how it responds.

I'm flattered, but there's no way I could do it. I just do this stuff on the side, and I work 60hrs a week and have kids. If you do find someone to do it, I'm happy to help, if you have any questions.

​@@irionmotorsports Let’s get creative…. I’ll come out there and watch the kids while you’re working on my truck!

No, it's straight out of the powermax manual. If you have a powermax 65 or 85 you can us this manual. The cut charts start on 3-24. www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjexcvqlP6DAxXPrYkEHYhmBT0QFnoECA4QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hypertherm.com%2FDownload%3FfileId%3DHYP115403%26zip%3DFalse&usg=AOvVaw3Kh6I776vSTo4c6_0Rj2Bd&opi=89978449

Here's another link with just the cut charts. If you don't have a powermax 65/85, you might need different settings, but these might work fine for other machines. www.plasma-automation.com/partsdatabase/CuttingCharts/powermax_65-85.pdf

No problem. Glad it was helpful!

Have you tried the wicked 75ac and what's the brightness like compared to the cannon

@@williamlowry5704 I have not used the wicked 75ac. If you get one let me know what you think. : )

Nice, good luck man. If you're hauling that much and putting and eaton in, you might want to take a look at your rear end while you're at it. I blew mine out about 200 miles from home. New bearings and a backlash adjustment would have saved me a lot of time and a ring and pinion set.

I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I don't have the time. Fabricating is just something I do on the side. I work about 60hrs a week and I have two kids and side projects. If you find someone to build one for you, I'm happy to help with any questions you have.
