Welp, spinners not gonna touch that
I reckon that Newton could have a good go at it. It cut through the 3mm mild steel wall on a ricochet so if its actively aiming to cut this I bet it will go though if it catches it right.
Susan should also be able to put some slots in it once she is built. Just the sheer power to weight ratio of spinners makes even the best feather armour vulnerable.
On paper Lynx could have a good go at it but whether it'll be able to do anything in reality is a different story, looks solid though nice work.
I doubt a spinner could cut through any type of tool steel, specialy the tempered ones. Its much tougher than hardox or titanium but heavier than both. I would be concerned about shattering tho, mounting your tool steel on aluminium might help.
well if it does brake up i will shift to mild steel and just make a few replacement shells
Hardox weapons regularly break or twist Tool steel ones. I don't think any one has ever used Tool steel as armour over here though so we will have to see.Quote:

Sorry to be a pain, wondered if it would be possible to see the hinge setup you have :)
this is probably the best pic i have of it

haven't posted in a while and progress has been very slow as i'm just being very lazy but i have started the new plastic nightfury which is starting to take shape but i have found a new source of of the esc that nightfury/scruffy used (the ones that will let you change direction quickly with out stopping)

if anyone is interested ...
ok as scruffy was rather naff this year its having a complete re build, im also working on night fury improvements and at the mo i cant decide weather to put an upside down version of the front scoop on the back for when it gets flipped or keep the present sloped design and im gonna get the wheels doubled up again as it just need a bit more grip and im probably gonn change to the tz85 for better control
ok got some of scruffy 4 done, main chassis is tacked together (minus the top section) but i still have to cut another couple of wheel slots in the base for the 4wd, it will have the usual head design but im going for a slightly different weapon mechanism so it could go up in flames but we will have to wait an see if my prototype works
