This tank is smaller (1.5 gallon vs 2.4) and more expensive, but might fit better. Slightly different mount style.

It’s about as wide as the seat and only 16” long.
The backbone is about 35”. The seat is 18” long but can hang off the back a bit. This length of gas tank gives some wiggle room.

‪@LiamDoran33‬ 's twin Hyabusa engine powered mini truck

I’ve never seen a car do wheelie donuts before!!! I think he said 400 HP and 1200 lbs.

About 18:30 when Cletus starts with the wheelie donuts.

I've never used flux core. Looks like you could use a bit more heat. What controls do you have on that welder? Show the interface.
Also was that the wire that came with the machine? I've heard it's crap. But now that you can get a new roll it might improve the quality.
Have you tried a destructive test. Weld two peices at a right angle. Then try to break it with a BFH.

Voltage setting is only “MIN” or “MAX”
Max is like 90 AMPs I guess?
Wire speed setting is 1 - 10

Been using Lincoln Innershield 0.030” NR-211 Multiple Pass.

No hammer testing yet.


Maybe for a tack weld, turn wire speed down from 8 to 5 and hold it there for like 5 seconds instead of 3 or whatever I was doing?
