hey Marco, are those lexan motor mounts/gearholders? if so are they up to the job?
I have loads of spare rust if you need any.

polycarb
I hope they are up to it. Only one way to find out really isnt it

*edit*

Infact im going to be bold and say surely they can handle it. If behmoth can run on cnc made polycarb sprocket then surely my polycarb motor mounts should be fine.

i made that test frame i made self right. its a very poor self right but i thought it was going to be impossible. the rams are only 16 bore 50 stroke and its only abit of 4mm pipe direct to the valve from the compressor.

i have been having a play with some stuff again. got a 40bore 125stroke ram and made a crushing spike to crush random stuff i can find. how i have it set up what do u think it will crush at about 70 psi and about 140 psi. its untested at the moment i need to make some sort of rose joint to attatch the ram to my spike.

what are the washers like that come with the wheels from ewan?

didnt get any with mine so i didnt know if they were specially made or just a standard penny washer, with the left handed thread screw having the taper near the head i didnt know if it was a countersunk washer or somthing.

Cheers.

Many apologies Tom, Ive been short recently. Theyre just standard heavy duty (reasonably thick) 6mm washers to help retain the wheels with a reverse threaded screw (put a washer under screw head).

ahh cheers fella.
