Rene,

Email sent. I just realized the dates in my post above were off by a month. As of Sep. 20th I'm shut down until I move into our new house. I put you on the build list and will let you know when I'm back up and running.

Thanks

Ryan

 

[Rene Danner]

Okay Ryan..Thanks

******UPDATE 9 October********

I just found out our house will not be ready to move into until Nov. 20th. This means we will have to stay in temporary lodging on base until then and all our stuff will remain in storage until we can move in.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make any tanks until then. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but this was not how it was planned to work out. I will continue to take orders and add to my build list. I will contact everyone on the build list before any tanks are made to insure there are no changes and you still want the tank. As always, no payment is due until your tank is ready to ship.

I'm really starting to miss my garage!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks agian for all your support.

Hi Ryan, I have a old style Twin 45 Crapshooter that I need a tank for . Have you built any tanks for the twins and do they have a duel feed or are they separate tanks Thanks Tim

 

[Ryan Lipgens]

Hi Tim,

I have built tanks for twins, but not sure if I made them for a crapshooter. All my drawings are in storage. For niitro I would recommend two tanks with an internal hopper tank in each tank.

Thanks Ryan, no hurry my wife and on RV trip around the US from Alaska. We will be back in AK on the 28th of Oct Thanks Tim

 

[Ryan Lipgens]

Sounds good Tim, enjoy your trip!

I was talking to another customer today and a possible option could be a single tank with a divider down the middle and an internal hopper tank on each side. Something to think about.

I added you to the build list and will contact you when I'm up and running. Feel free to send me some measurements when you have time and we'll work on some drawings.

Thanks

Ryan

 

[Danny King]

Go ahead and add me to the list. I need a tank for a twin. Will get you the dimensions.

 

[Ryan Lipgens]

Thanks Danny, you're on the list.

Ryan, how do the tanks hold up to vibration and movement.

 

[Ryan Lipgens]

Great question Samuel.

In nitro applications there doesn't seem to be an issue. I can probably count on one hand the nitro tanks I've had to fix.

In Gas applications there has been some isses. The vibrations in Gas boata are tremendous compared to nitro boats and the flips and wrecks are more violent. Needless to say I've had to repair a few of them.

I'm constantly working on new designs and ways to make them stronger. I've started adding baffles to the larger Gas tanks which seems to help, but nothing's bullet proof and being seam welded they can only take so much of a beating. There's no comparison, molded tanks like Sullivan are much stronger. In a Gas application Sullivan tanks and IV bags are great. I just try to provide an option where those won't work.

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

Kool. I'm sending a pair of tanks to Walt. When I get them back and when you get settled in I'll show you what I got and see what you think.

 

[Ryan Lipgens]

Sounds great!

Got to see a couple of your tanks first hand at shawdaddy's shop. Very nice work. I will be needing one with an internal hopper and both fittings at the top for my 90 Cajun Bullet. As soon as I can stop by the shop and take some measurements I will.

 

[anthony_marquart]

what is your schedule again Ryan? I need to get these tanks modified some how..

thanks

Tony,

We're scheduled to move in on Nov. 21st. I'm going to do everything possible to be up and running by the 23rd. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it's the best I can do right now. Temporary lodging on base is not fun. I can't wait to move in, start living a semi-normal life again and get back to building tanks.

Thanks again for everyones patience.

Ryan
