| | 17 Apr 2008 08:15 PM | | Are you using poppets or solenoids? How many guns and how do you want them set up to fire? Are you going to use an ESC or go with a microswitch setup? How are you running your pump, always on, manual, automatic switch? | | | |

| | 17 Apr 2008 08:24 PM | | oh yes that info might help [:p]
I’m using poppets with an HS-55
3 guns they are dual sterns single Bow fire?
I have a Viper 40 Mtroniks ESC
Not sure how I’m running my pump, Haven’t crossed that bridge yet but automatic switch sounds good where do I get one of those at?

I built mine and they work great | | | |

| | 18 Apr 2008 10:30 AM | | Just make sure you drill a priming hole for your pump. The auto-pump circuit occasionally suffers from vaporlock, and you can't switch it off and switch it back on again to overcome that problem.
Also, a HS-55 is a bit on the small side for poppets. I would recommend either a HS-81 or a HS-311. | | | There are 101 different types of people: those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who just can't count... | |

| | 24 Apr 2008 06:23 AM | | There are also the otter boxes some guys use. I'm not sure which ones they buy but never heard anything bad about them. Also, I've seen guys build waterboxes out of tupperware containers. Not sure how well they work, but on paper, you'd think it would work pretty well. | | | HMS Invincible

| | 24 Apr 2008 08:05 AM | | Otterboxes are the way to go. The colored ones are a bit easier to drill without cracking than the optically clear ones but once you get the method down they work great. I have even tapped the sides so the poppets thread into the box. it works good. | | | |
