Oh sorry my bad i thought you said backplate.
i dont know what the tank was made of.
the tank is a normal black widow stunt vented tank.
its cylinder is like the TD's and it has the killer bee crank aaaand the high comp glow head.

And a very weak lightened piston.

ideeman1994 Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:21 pm

Bah, I'll use the TD style piston & cyl (actually from a Sure Start) Bernie and Xena sell Wink

GermanBeez Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:24 pm

Ok well the original pistons were way too fragile anyway.

We will be offering the tank bowls and backplates by themselves as well as in kits. Using current 5cc tanks as jumpboard for pricing we anticipate retail pricing as follows:

8cc tank bowl non-stunt version - silver: $11.95
8cc tank bowl non-stunt version - colour anodized: $13.95
8cc tank bowl stunt version - silver: $14.95
8cc tank bowl stunt version - colour anodized: $16.95
Backplate - stunt version: $11.95
Fuel tank conversion kit: $24.95 to $29.95 depending on configuration.

oh, duyyy again Very Happy

ideeman1994 Sat Oct 29, 2011 7:15 am

Ok, I just checked, the Venom has a metal fuel tank... So it'll be a perfect clone! I still need that zero-drag thick drive plate, but I'll machine an hex-shaped one on a lathe Cool

GermanBeez Sat Oct 29, 2011 7:32 am

do youz have a lathe???

ideeman1994 Sat Oct 29, 2011 8:11 am

Great opportunity to work in this position.
Others may create with these machines.

Nice place there.
I am sure that Matt and Bernie sell zero drag driveplates but turning a hex one down would be more fun and cheaper if you already have one.

ideeman1994 Sun Oct 30, 2011 10:34 am

They do have round drive plates, but thin ones... As I've got a few of hex-shaped thick plates, It'll be more fun to do Very Happy

Manu that is cool it looks very authentic.

ideeman1994 Wed Nov 09, 2011 12:13 pm

Yeah I checked with my Texaco engine, the diameter is exactly the same! And I didn't take any measurements...

But it's like 0.5 mm longer... No big deal, it won't affect the engine's performance Smile

Thanks for the info Bernie, I'm getting a Black Widow, that I'll use with the parts I will order from you in a few days Wink

nitroairplane Wed Nov 09, 2011 12:14 pm
