Default Re: Putting Smoke in the new 50cc Ultimate 20-300

I used two B&B 16oz Mastertanks and turned them on the side. I put the smoke pump (Sullivan Skywriter) in the area in front of the tanks and powered it off the ignition battery (A123 1100 mah) with a separate switch. This smoke pump has a very low power draw and the ignition battery has plenty of capacity. Balance came out just right and the system puts out awesome smoke. 16 oz is plenty of fluid. I have the pump rate mixed with the throttle and it pumps 6oz per minute at full throttle and runs at minimal speed at idle.
