Spudchukker III - Vented Piston Hybrid build log
Hey guys, Taking some serious inspiration from SB15's TBMA2.0 and Mr.C's Mjollnir, I have been working on a hybrid of my own. I have been using mainly the pictures in SB15's thread to go on, and have learned a lot about hybrids and pistons from the forums here, and I feel like I am ready to tackle t...

Okay, good to know. Thanks. I figured they would withstand more than 150 psi, I just didn't know how much more.

I'd just like to point out that the igniter won't work if you place a switch in the circuit with the battery. You can connect the battery directly and nothing will happen. The switch needs to be placed between the two spade connectors located in this picture, circled in red. Or else put a switch in ...
