Title: converting challenger
Post by: dan paton on April 28, 2013, 10:41:55 pm

evening
i'm in the process of gathering bits to convert my challenger so it moves and sprays like a sprayborg . the wheels are already sorted . I know which pump and parts to get . the big question is what part would I get so I can operate the spray from the handle . i'm not putting this together myself i'm going to get someone in the know to do it but i'm confused about the trigger to operate the spray. any chance someone could put up a link so I know what to buy.
cheers
dan

 probably a push switch mounted on the handle bar ...
you would probably have to mount the switch into a clamp of some sort and bolt it to the handle ...
