Where is Moonhopper now.....

Post by 85BJ73 »

I had a hand in setting up the air system to raise and lower the suspension on Moon Hopper a coupla years back, and I understand someone here owns it now. If you want a hand to get this up and running again, let me know.
No matter the problem, the answer is always give it more gas.......

Cheers, I will leave it up to him, as he may want to leave it original, or may have done it himself by now.

Thats me :D

Yep i do have moonhopper now. Old chassis and cage are now obsolete because I decided to build new ones to fit the FWD engine and gbox in nicer. Its a shame that ive cut up all of Tonys work but I should have just built one from scratch. It would have been much easier, and up to what I want to do with it. But lesson learnt

Would be handy to get a handle on the whole setup from someone in the know :wink: am going to onboard air because I can see myself getting to a trial and a whole bunch of people playing with the pretty levers and it running out of air :?

No problem, I will work out when I can come down that suits us both, and we can go from there. On-board air is the best option too, it saves the weight of a dive tank, something I couldn't convince Hamish of. Hamish is the bloke who owned it when I set the air system up. It really isn't that hard to do, it just requires the correct air valve.
