:lol: yup, will need to make a feature of the flag. Just remembered that the last time it was at GSL it wasn't painted was it? Suppose it is a bit different now then.

Nice looking spinner, with good drive too, staying up rite it will be a good contender
What thickness bulkheads are you using on conker?
Its only 10mm HDPE for the uprights but supported by 2mm Ti
Conker 3 is already in design, reusing the outer body panels, but the new bulk heads will be 20mm Aliumec to support a HK-5035-800Kv motor which is about 4x more powerful than the S900's.
Surely that disc will grind?
Our two-both having work done before the UK Champs- Inertia will be looking very different this time.

When I move to the Brushless I will be moving to a new disc with a single tooth, if you can call it that. I may cut it out for this champs though if I have the money.Quote:
