A Different Trim Mod

[Foximus]

I just bought bike cables that are stainless.

a lined dirtbike clutch cable works well but will still rust/ corrode. find me in daytona for the unvailing of my hydraulic actuated trim assembly. all cnc machined aluminmum, bearing pivots and stops built in.

trust me in saying that this will be the #1 internal mount trim set up and can be modded to work on most skis.0

 

[Foximus]

I'll buy it. =]

 

[madscientist]

wow!!!! you don't even have a price

no orders before daytona

Justin I think he meant to say: I'LL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAH!

 

[Foximus]

na. I'll buy it.

 

[WFO Speedracer]

na. I'll buy it.

Looks like you have your first buyer Justin,dang I didn't know he was rolling like that, cha -ching wheres the cash register smiley

 

[Foximus]

yeap.

 

[madscientist]

actually he is third in line.

for the sx i will have to find a longer hydro line to get it back to the bulk head area from the bars, still doable though

does it work on the nozzel directly or does it push on a cable.

 

[madscientist]

still a pull on the factory cable

 

[Shanex-2]

can you show us any pics or do you have a thread on this already?

 

[madscientist]

look twards the avatar my son.

 

[Shanex-2]

ah now I see looks better than the chupricarbra. Or whatever that was

 

[madscientist]

we made a small revision yesterday due to a bind in the motion. it will be here sat or monday.

 

[Shanex-2]

sweeeeet it does look good:eek2:

I did a similar setup on my FX-1 (which uses an X-2 pump/nozzle) and it works great dry, but under pump pressure the cable stretched like a rubberband and did nothing. When I pulled the lever it felt like it was working, but the nozzle never even budged.

I hope you see better results.

after doing a little research into the above statement by special fx I have decided to not use my trim lever setup . However after considering the type of riding that I will be doing (wave jumping ). I will be using my backup plan trim tube only . Since it pretty much bypasses the trim cable system anyway I wont have to worry about the cable bending in half.
It will still be a while befor I will have my ski together so I have a friend of mine testing it out on his X-2.:fingersx:
