calum- yeah i changed the bearings for needle rollers and a bigger shaft and it seems ok so far...made up a spare set too lol
Jamie- yeah its getting there, did the hard bit today, need to spend another hour on a lathe and it'll be done :) same design as the old one, but the shaft side of it should be a bit stronger....might change the brushless motor for a higher KV version... i want to hit over 10,000rpm with it :proud:

got a few grams left for teeth on the disc, few more if i take the magnets out.
When I saw the original pic of Mini gimp I thought it had a metal base, but that was for the kilobot I presume.
Banebots can go down to 3g each with the heatshrink off, and there is a lot more weight to be lost in that wiring and taking heatshrink off the lipo. Just some advice so you can get some good teeth in the weight.
how can you loose weight in the wiring? all the cables are as short as possible....
didnt want to take off heatshrink as carbon fibre is a conductor :)
what did you do with the servo boards?
chucked em in a box...
okay, let me know if you want rid of them
