Quick Air 3 Woes

After reading Mike's post, I agree with the both of you. It should work as is, however if it does not and there are no problems then I see a marvelous mod opportunity.

Put a 12VDC box fan in there. Can even get SS mesh coarse filters for some of the sizes of fans.

Have you talked with Sportsmobile to see if they have had similar problems with this unit? Seems to me that if Sportsmobile sells this for use with their vans, it should work decently. Then again, after using a Powertank, anything else is going to fell like going back to an 8086 PC. SSSLLLOOOWWW!!!

I say if it doesn't perform to your liking at the next trial run, dump it on eBay or Craigslist and buy an ExtremeAire. Or get the unit on the trailer that ntsqd posted.:xxrotflma

I'll bet that you could do the same conversion to a Type 3 pancake motor and fit it under the SMB somewhere......

After using the York system that was on the Sub (until my bracket had a forced re-design event) the 60 will have OBA. The MV-50's are handy, but can't hope to compete in speed or run air tools. A CO2 tank is a great option, but not one that I'm personally interested in.

I agree!

ExtremeAire Mag is a great way to go!

Fast and 100 % duty cycle!

I love using mine!

Once you buy one......you will never go back to anything else! (cry once type of a thing)

This thread is interesting. I have the dual piston Q89 which is a Chinese knockoff of the Quickair 3. It filled my 315s from 20 to 48 in about 5 min per tire. But it only got through 3 tires and barely into the 4th before it shutoff. I was thinking about putting my 12v fan on it since the place it's mounted doesn't get much air.

I am a bit surprised to hear that the name brand compressor also shut down sooner than the advertised duty cycle.
