Bird's "X" mid tank

[Bad67bird]

hmmmmm well i will find out cause i also fixed the problem with my steering mod i did and well I'm hoping the truck sits low enuf not to flip.....however I'm sure its gonna try when i hit those brakes:duh:

ok half a tank thru and about 10 run time so far and here is my assesment:

i may have burned up my clutch as the the linkage will have to be changed.the spring on the brakes actually pulled the rod far enuf to engage brakes when WOT so there was a power reduction.it sits real low in the front with a tank of fuel so it doesnt wanna flip unless I'm turning super sharp .it didnt even try to pull a wheelie until i got to the half tank level,but thats probably due to the issue above.i would still be out there but my long shot igniter died for good,its 3yrs old so i knew it was coming.i didnt take pics or vid as this was just a test n tune,but my over feeling is that it was worth it. i did take a small jump but it was only about a foot high.

awesome. i'm looking forward to doing this once i redo my diffs. i have the flm plate, 2 sets of servo mounts, ofna throttle bits, and the 250cc tank.
glad to hear its stable so far. that sucks about the clutch. but should be an easy fix right?

actually I'm running the xtm slider clutch,luckily i have a spare one:thinking:

ok after reevaluating my linkage i came up with this:

its a little crude,but it works much better and the brakes ride free now at idle and WOT. ill check the clutch out thursday when i have some more time.

did you hit some mud already or is that a leaky shock i see

How does the tank feed? I have to break the siphon on mine or it will gravity feed after shut down. Just curious if yours does the same...
