That ebony stain looks great Ron, evil even.

To bad it's not reed instead of RV, then you could run it in either direction. Smile

Looking for a timeless classic. Not drunken NASCAR after party lol!

That looks really good. I like how teh grain shows through too.

Still not in it’s final form. I am away for work. Hopefully you will all like the final finish.

Seeing as it sounds you are not finished it, I had a question to see if anyone would happen to know. If it was just stained as yours is, is the stain fuelproof? Or does the stain have to be fuelproofed?

Thanks, nice little bit of history. I certainly liked a few of those and they will probably find their way on my little tether.

Thanks Eric. That's just what I was wondering. Good to know.

**Cribbs74** Fri Jan 18, 2019 11:10 pm

Good news is the engine runs great, bad news is the wheel could not handle the RPM and let go ripping to shreds my only good .020 mount that I have. Rolling Eyes

Oh well, that’s why we test these things out ahead of time. Now I am on the look out for a set of wheels that can handle the revs. Also a new .020 mount...

Bummer.

I have new back plates if you need one. There was also the aluminum version that may hold up better in this application.

How about 3D printed wheels? I have nylon and carbon fiber reinforced nylon. Also have glass filled nylon I just got today. Just give me dimensions and I can print a few.

Thanks Jason! I may just take you up on that. I haven’t seen aluminum backplates just the aluminum tanks. Where did you find them?

Greg has requested that I send his e mail via request via PM.

If he doesn’t have any left, i can send you one of mine.
I just sent him a e mail asking if he has any inventory on the 020 mounts.

Sure hope it is a photo illusion and you did NOT bend the nose of the crank shaft...

**Cribbs74** Sat Jan 19, 2019 11:46 am

Marley, thanks for that I’ll shoot him a message! I appreciate you posting the link. Is the mount bolt hole spacing the same as the plastic ones?

Fred, me too, I hadn’t even noticed that. I’ll look today, it landed on a plastic box about 10 ft away from the stand and not the concrete floor, so hopefully it’s just the photo.

Don’t know how i missed the Td 049 mount! Yeow they’re cool!

roddie Sat Jan 19, 2019 3:53 pm

I don't own any Cox engines smaller than .049... but I did receive an engine mount in a parts-bag that may be for the .020.. but I'm not sure.. Huh...

Are the back-ends to the Pee Wee and Tee Dee the same?
