Hi Im just wondering what the highest rpm spinner ant is?

I'm not sure about others but all of the Inertia ants and fleas run at about 15,000rpm- The main thing to keep in mind at these speeds is to have a perfectly balanced disc otherwise the vibrations will make it undriveable.

15,000 rpm from a 7.2v fleaweight is unbelievable :shock:

I think the original DBA one-tooth used a GWS 2205/5t outrunner (2160kv) @ 4s, so 31000rpm....

Instead of making new topics I will make this into a mini thread
First question

Thanks
