if it doesn't meet your expectations, I've got a George Washington and a Lincoln I'd be willing to trade for it... you know, so you don't have those sad feelings every time you look at it

Sorry guys, I have family coming tonight and ran out of time to get it installed and tested.
I looked it over and the wiring harness is totally different from my original. That was enough to thwart my efforts tonight. Unfortunately I’m not able to do it till next Monday since I have family over.

put them to work, they can time tire inflation times, hand tools, take and hand parts, any camera capable operators?

Ok, finally got the new brushless single installed. Did two 37” ridge grappler tires from 5 to 28 psi on the old single, both took 4 minutes. After installing the new single, both tires took 2mins 50 seconds. Not sure how long an old double would take but it’s probably comparable. The compressor is way louder now than before. There’s also a built-in fan at the end of the blue barrel, opposite the intake filter.
Good news, I did have to modify the ACM plate but it was a matter of drilling two new holes
New one is a tad longer and is bigger in diameter too.
It also has a new wire harness so it wasn’t just swapping out the compressor.

Here’s a link to a video I made of the sound…

Awesome! Glad you were able to make it work and good info on the air up time
Safe to assume it's just a higher pitch than the old one? Maybe a bit faster too? Sounds like when I get a hair cut LOL

Yeah, was stoked your mounting plate works!Awesome! Glad you were able to make it work and good info on the air up time

It’s a higher pitch and a lot louder. Reminds me of the buz/humming of a bad transformer.

Thanks for the report. I’m going to run the wheels off my double, but I would definitely consider the single brushless as a replacement.
Always good to hear.

Thanks, Ben. I was surprised it did so well. I was also surprised that the old one timed at 4 minutes. Sure feels a lot longer than 4 minutes on the trail.

Yeah, for sure, nothing wrong with that!

It seems to be a very unpleasant sound.

The's the EVO LA setup?
Mike Pierson
Hooked
Yeah, it kinda is. Luckily it’s a little faster so shouldn’t have to listen to it but for 5ish minutes on a typical trip.It seems to be a very unpleasant sound.

It’s the shock tower for the coilovers. Made getting the old one out a complete pain in the ass.

I bet, we had to rotate the old one in to clear the towers during install lol glad the new one fit though! Looks good, definitely louder.
Mike Pierson
Hooked
Yeah, it wasn’t that it was rotated, just the overall shape when it’s connected to the ACM bracket and the hose fittings made it impossible to remove. I ended up removing the four bolts that held it to the ARB mount which allowed me to get the ACM plate out and then the compressor itself came out fairly easily. Cool thing is the new ARB plate latches to the ridges on the compressor body so it’s easier to remove if needed.

Glad you were able to get it to fit. It is definitely louder but like you said at least it airs up the tires quicker. I really want one now lol but still will wait for the portable one.
