Did High Roller get done in time for moto and if so how did it do

I havent seen it mentioned in the event reports and im sure that ive read that he didnt get finished in time.

Nope, did not get done in time... I am going to re-design the whole thing after I finish it!!! The only thing that I have left to really do is weld up an arm. Other than that, it got all done. Soon, soon I hope!!! 2 jobs and school has been having me going like crazy lately!

Is there a quick connect fitting that will give high flow and handle full bottle pressure? I am thinking of using a hydraulic fitting, but I dont know if it will leak.

Thanks

Not to my knowledge. If you want any good flow youll need a large quick connect coupling, and those are heavy.

But leaking. They will after a while, most kinds of Orings dont like liquid CO2.

Thank you

Has anyone tried using a 1/4 turn ball valve activated by a cordless drill to pressurise a HP ram? I have seen that Paul Cooper uses a LP ram to open a 1/4 turn ball valve in M2XT.

a high torque servo would probably be better, and i think has been used before, drill would be too big and hard to control just to do 1/4 turn.

Might open abit slow to get the full flowrate that the valve can produce, hence why paul opted for pneumatic operation i pressume.

other option may be a big solenoid, you would probably need two though, one to push each way.
