There are two gauges on the powertank so you know how much pressure is in it and how much the regulator is set to dispense.

I know why the gauges are there and I have a fairly nice Dewalt. Doesn't take twenty minutes each, but it is a few minutes. I also have a spare air tank. It doesn't go to the pressure of your overkill tank, but it also only needs the one gauge for the regulator. You don't actually need to measure how much pressure is left in it at all times.

Hence, it's overkill. Most racing stuff is.

Hmmm.... Not sure I'm on board with the striped look. Almost looks like it was cut into longitudinal sections for detailed internal study.

Sliced bread trim.

You don't need to be competitive with everything, especially considering you've probably never filled or tried to bead anything bigger than a 18"? There are different size tools for different size jobs, that makes the tools necessary, and not "overkill". You or your use case is not the standard for size.

For example: My 9ton 4 wheel steering "off-roader" runs 600/55R25.6 which is a mere 51.6" wheel, that is nearly as wide a tread than your car wheel is high. Any car compressor would take hours to fill just one, should it be able to ever run that long. No chance to bead it. And that"s not even the biggest ones that run on the farm. I suppose there's a difference between tools and "tools".

Should try that nice Dewalt on one of these lol:

Id like to see a video of this pretty nice dewalt airing up a 35

Youtube's got dozens and dozens of reviews. From flat:


Anyhow, that's one cycle; it'd need to rest/cool after that, it has about a 10 minute run time. I can do my car's tires in a single pass.

Honestly, this 'It's not possible!' crap is just crap.

I wonder if onboard air could be used to slowly recharge your overkill tank so it can do its trick again and again.

How big are your cars tires?
That tank is not fillable from that compressor

1. Why do you care about my car? It's not a truck. Of course it airs faster.
2. What tank what compressor why not? All you need is the right fittings and pressures. I have no idea what the limits or fittings on the tank or the onboard compressor are.

Because theres an enormous difference in volume. You understand that they are airing down for offroading right?

POWERTANKS are filled with liquid CO2

Yeah, I just looked that up. That's insane. And only doubles down on it being overkill.

Not only could I buy four Dewalts for the price of the 15lb content unit, I could stick four of them in the same volume and weight of the system. And I wouldn't have to drive fifty miles out of my way to refill it.

I think this could be used on almost every forum thread that has ever existed.

If applied though I most likely would not have stayed on here daily for almost 4 years

I think I see different conversations here. One about possibilities, Another other is a discussion about what is in the picture, and another about racing.

As for the overkill, you do realize this version of the discussion is about racing, which is about time. I would venture to bet a dollar or even two that the powertanks are faster than the battery operated Dewalt. And that could make the difference between winning, and not winning. A competitive advantage is not overkill, it’s winning. Cause if you ain’t first, you’re last.

Don't listen to these people. You're a winner.

Right. Racing things are intentionally overkill. I think I said that.

But saying it's not overkill because you need to shave 10 minutes off your drive home... That's overkill.

Worse if it's shave 8x10 minutes by adding 2x60 minutes on a different day to get it filled... That's just priorities.

Baja. Very cool. Planning on doing the Baja 500 with CT.

I just really think your continued persistence in trying to justify your name calling, "overkill". Lol.

It's simply different tools for different jobs, and if you can't demonstrate that you've required a bigger tool for a job, then you simply don't know what you are talking about.

Maybe try go offroading with 35" tyres before telling everyone they are exaggerating and overkill?

You can't use a square bit screw driver to remove a flat hed screw, or a hex bit with a philips. Let alone a #4 size for a #1. You take the tool that fits the job. That doesn't make it overkill, just normal.

BTW the CT air suspension compressor is unlikely to do high cycle times either, because it barely needs anything for the ar springs. So it's not going to have an outlet for the tyres. If anything it will be a seperate higher capacity one that will be an option.

There's no point in increasing the CT suspension compressor size, just for tyres, if trades might over use it resulting in a flood of warranty claims and broken down vehicles.
