i made or modified most of those parts. the manifold was not for fuel injection. so i made the bungs, milled the holes, and TIG'd em in.
estimated 450+hp. it will make a stock GN look like a VW beetle, really.

now, my observations. this is a very nice and very cool mod. i thought that i wouldn't like the 21700 nearly as much as the 26650. but i do. not more, but its up there.
for someone with smaller hands(not me), this is the one to get.
todd had the screen brightness nearly off = DARK. I turned it about all the way up, and its good. but not as bright as the 26650.

the wood and resin color. the resin is veery nice. the wood fantastic !

the damage. i want to see what you folks have to say, before i do. but it will say, "i think" but do not "know" that this could be fixed to nice condition. i say 'think", as i would need to use some super glue, and idk if it would stick.

I know it is belt driven off the main belt but I do not see the cog on it. Maybe the angle you took the pic. 450HP will get you going if the truck is very light. Otherwise that is not enough. If it beats a GNX I guess it is enough LOL.

.

it is not cog, it is serpentine . cogs are very hard on bearings. the truck weights 2445#, i weighted it on the ROUTE 66 dragstrip scales.

I was rather disappointed today. Went to Milwaukee. A little White kid maybe 2-3 years old. Asked me if I got that way eating too much fudge! Either his parents teach him nothing or teach him the wrong things. Milwaukee is a rather diverse city. I cannot imagine he never has seen a black person before. So that comes to observation number 2 of mine. His parents are bigots. How sad.

don't take it personally. the damnest things come out of little kids pie holes.

It's like in the movie Me myself and Irene....... When his baby was born they gave it to him and he says.... He is so, he is so, he is so.... brown........

Some white people will always be the same......

Even nicer than a butt crack! I had to go there.
Jinx'd I really wanted to see you put a new block. If you think you can fix it to your liking, a lot easier for you. Trust me, both the wood and resin looked nothing like that originally. It was a lot nicer. Obviously money was not an issue to me. Plus I like you. It is yours now. I do not mind. You can do whatever you want with it. In fact I would be very impressed if you could resurrect it as is. Manny, you cannot really see the crack good from that angle. It is like a sharks tooth. It was obviously defective given all that is wrong with it and VA just blew me off after I even got their attention. Plus when I informed them I decided to just buy a new one they had the nerve to be offended by that! Who the hell are they? They have gotten too big for their britches. Hubris.

Jinx'd don't you see the large gap from the wood to the bottom plate?

plus it was not nearly that dark.

It was not that "rough" either.

Hey, if you like it the way it is terrific!


yes Sir, i do. and that is not the worst of it.

noticed that too. and you know what, i think it looks better. i like this darker color.

yes, i know. and what i do find odd, is that the resin is also effected. it has a very slight texture to it, and has a wave in it.

all this said. yes yes, i like it, a lot. i am using it now. what i am going to do, without getting carried away, i am going to spifff it up some. just to see what happens. if i had ordered a block yesterday (and i didn't), it would take 3 weeks to get here = MOSCOW.
so i have some time to play around with it. you will see what all happens as it goes.

if its Manny's butt crack, you got that right . i had to go there :giggle:

i know you do. aand as it stands, i am.

it can be fixed, just how well, idk. probably not to where "you", or Manny, would be happy with it. but i do know i could fix it to where "i" would be happy with it. hell, i am happy with it now. believe me when i say " i LIKE IT !" even as it is. you may think this bizzar, but look at it this way = had i got a Ferrari that was beat up some, but still drove well, i'd be LOVE'n that shit !

yes, i know. and thank you, i like you to :)

let me get a better pic of that crack. and it is not so much a crack, as aa seperation.

Look at this: https://www.aol.com/article/news/20...s-residents-stop-vaping-immediately/23803335/

I can't discuss this here. Idiots. This gives us all a bad namesake. We do not this bad media. This is NOT what we are doing. Also, we are not using Juul,Blu,JAK ETC. which are laden with chemicals and dangerous. Whenever you hear of poisoning it is these, not what we here use!

Todd. its ALL about "ratings". good news does not create ratings. bad news does, be it truthfull or not. if the media cannot find bad news, they make it.

You should have told him yes with a straight face. Never miss an opportunity to mess with the kiddos.

Not to mention it says pretty early that they were dabbing. I can tell you from experience that THC concentrate can really be quite harsh feeling on the lungs. Used to make me cough A LOT. If they were doing so regularly, that's more than enough to cause lung irritation. On top of that, there is little to no testing to screen for any pesticides used in the growing process nor possible chemicals left over (butane, for example) from the concentrate production process.

Well, Plastic wood is in fact. It has resin fibers in it. It is much stronger than wood.

Jinx'd I am really glad you like it! you got it for nothing then! To me it is "junk" now. I feel just like a real asshole right about now. You humble me jinx'd. You most certainly do. I think I paid over $900 for that thing.

Plus it is at much higher heat. Can scorch lungs. We are not supposed to discuss this here folks. Against forum rules!

So, you actually are going to do a new block? I did not mean to be a dick but to me that thing is destroyed. I mean it is okay for "today" since you just got it but it needs major TLC. Agreed?

Joha, did you get your warning yet, LOL?

100% Stabwood is best IMO. Stabwood abutting resin is asking for the very problems you are holding in your hand.... You will find almost every high end custom is 100% Stabwood. Or a Stabwood resin blend but not joined like that. I did not think about that when I purchased that but much more is wrong than just that. Be honest please jinx'd. Do you think that was defective in some manner or something I did to it? If it was something I did I have no clue as to what.

I see that you like the dark spalted or burl woods. I do too. instead of all the colors. I have many of both but I really like this new VA better than the one I sold you. I was going to play it safe and get 100% resin but now with VA who knows. maybe anything they make can fail. I think they are pretty sore to admit it though. they honestly should have at least apologized for that instead of blamed it on me.

wait until i open it up, i want to see inside. i "may" do so, somewhat, today. i do want to keep it usable for now. any block i get is going to take 3 weeks to get here. so i have time. but looking down into the side that seperated next to the faceplate, it looks like there may be juice. idk, i could just be dust.

on a side note. the battery cap on this one gets hot, same as, but not as much, as the 26650. but you had it on 16w, so it would never do it for you.
i am at 52w. the funny thing, because the fire button is higher up from the bottom, i don't hold this mod like the 26650.

I once had an accident where juice went al over it but I immediately wiped it all off. I wonder if it all got inside. Stayed there, and ate it from the inside out. Than, it would inadvertently be my fault sort of.

How much do those blocks cost? Probably just goes to show how overpriced VA is all made by machines. Hand made by one person is a different story.

I must have won the lottery on my current shotgun coil. Normally they last me 6-8 weeks at 16W. this one is well over 3 months old and still going strong!

Yes, that cap was bad too. It had to be screwed to the last 1/2 thread. My new one is barely screwed out at all. I am pretty sure that Mod was a dud. Do not be misled by some juice unless it is pooled inside of it.
