I'm very interested in a mirage and have been on a waiting list for a phantom for some time. Have cash and ready to buy. 4 post of course correct? Grady from Aim Kiln said I should drop you a line. Let me know what you think on a time frame. Thanks.

No man I'm not jealous cause I've been rockin a delta elite for years and years now. It does take a minute to figure out how to handle a big gun like a delta or kobuki. Also you'll probably be waiting way too long to get that bad boy. GTT will tell you next week but that could mean anything.....could be next year.

its made and i paid already. just gotta paint it black. i bought it cuz its in stock. i know about the wait, i waited many moons for my phantom but it wasnt made when i wanted it, the kobuki already is, if you look at the first post you will see this is an invitation to buy already available torches.

i thought you just had a mirage, cuz thats what i thought i saw you with.

Going black huh? I thought about it but figured I am spending enough and don't have the patience to wait for a paint job. Black would be sweet though.

there is a bunch of people on here who rock the homemade setup, there is a great how to thread. i cant find a two stage pedal any cheaper than around 625, but this can be built with about 300 dollars worth of parts it looks. and its super easy to assemble. a good buddy sent me some really clear pics of his hookups, its like butter once you get all the leggos..

**Jerry Gash** · 08-11-2010, 12:26 PM

I'm gonna run my griffen rock-it 2 stage on the center and middle, then use my old Maya pedal for the outer. Should work fairly well...

**hashmasta-kut** · 08-11-2010, 12:29 PM

do you need to run a footpedal on the lynx? i dont think you do really, i have seen a hookup picture where the gasses goes straight through to your centrefire, and you have tw0 sets of lines that need to be controlled with footswitches for each of the outer fires... its just a two stage footpedal system hooked up to a 3 stage torch i thought.

**Pogo** · 08-11-2010, 06:18 PM

^yeah no pedal on centerfire\ that'd be redundant as an on/off switch.
You're absolutely right HMK.

**Jerry Gash** · 08-11-2010, 08:52 PM

So I could use my rock-it to control the middle and the old maya pedal for the outer with he center always on.

**Pogo** · 08-11-2010, 10:57 PM

The confusion comes in the naming system of pedal manufacturers...
smutty calls his single pedal a 2 stage pedal cause it's for a 2 stage torch and griffin calls his a 2 stage pedal cause it's 2 stages of pedals for a 3-stage.

Interesting, huh?

Jerry G, If your rocket is a two stage griffin it has two pedals. one for your middle one for your outer, if not it's a single stage rockit and then you'd need a separate pedal for the outer, but yeah i think you've got the idea.
