Maxijet mod

[Ikaria]

Just wondering if anyone local has modded their maxijet, and how it turned out.

Check out this thread.

Yes, not hard to do. You need to order the props on line but everything else is local.

It did look pretty easy. Think I'm going to have to pick up some pumps. Hobby World is just up the road. I'm going to see what they have for props.

Have you been happy wit the mod Mike? Did you use a 900 or a 1200?

 

[mikeatjac]

Teach in my tank the 900 mod is a lot in my tank. Tried the 1200 and it blew water over the opposite end. Very impressive. Maybe at the next meeting we can do class on it.

Ikaria just you know there is no one locally that you can buy the correct props from. HobbyTown.com is a great source for the props.

You're using this on your 75? Are you using the double prop or the single version? Do you wish you would have used a 600 instead?

I'm going to order the props online, that way I'll know I have the right ones.

I would love to learn how to make them Mike! We need to get over to see your tank.

I am using the 900, single prop. What you need to do is look at different set ups. I have a spare 40 gallon that we can test different mods on less the 1200 dual prop of course.

I am going to start making 600 mods for my tank next week if the props come in.

Can you use these on a wavemaker like regular maxijets?

 

[mikeatjac]

Yes you can use them on a wave maker.

I went to Lowe's and picked up my test caps. Just waiting on my other stuff to arrive....

Just interested what prop and MJ are you using?

Since I have 2 tanks, I'm going to make one with a 900 and one with a 600. Both with the Dumas 3002 prop.

On Hobby Town's site when you search the store locator, it looks like there may be one coming to Jax. That would be cool!

 

[mikeatjac]

Yes, it would be cool. I am making dual 900's with their stock number LXE471. This time I am going to open up the back a little and shorten everything. I think I will get a better defused flow.

 

[mikeatjac]

The LXE471 is the same as your 3002.
