We have finally finished rebuilding and testing our new heavyweight- Maelstrom.
It is basically an upgraded version of St Agro with all new electrics.
I have uploaded a video of us testing it here:

Very nice Will. I hope it will do well for you.
love the vid will and the music is apt and wellthought out. good to see maelstrom up and running and hope to get to fight it soon. :)
Thought we would not see St. Agro again, looks awesome and should work well for you on the sidewinder.:)
Thats good, but if I bought St Agro, Id keep it the way it is
Well my guess is that it was still on 4qds, if thats the case id swap some parts too.
Yes, I read the website, it was still on 4QDs
Thanks for the great comments guys!!
Tom and Leo are right, when we bought it, St Agro was still running on 4QDs and the batteries that came with it were pretty much knackered so we bought a couple of new hawkers.
Since we had a new speedo we had to completely strip the electrics and start again.
Other than that it is the same as the machine which took part in series 7, the only other things that we have done is make a new top cover to replace the damaged one and relocate the dump valve to make it a little more practical.
It drives really well and the flipper seems to have enough power.
I cant wait to get it in the arena at portsmouth!

expect an e-mail from author chiltcock (sp?) - the big guy from team mortis..
Turbulence was originaly going to be called maelstrom aswell.. but he kicked up a fuss about it saying how the new mortis maelstrom has been in construction for years etc.. but that was before turbulence mk1 was finished.. a few years ago now..
looks good though will.
Arthur Chillcot, Ive not heard from him in ages. Didnt he emigrate or something? A very nice man by the way.
