Done some slight redesigning of HardWired again too, still aiming for a disc of about 5.5-6 kg (which I know is complete overkill, but that's more fun) but now I'm going for hopefully some kind of hardox strength steel for a baseplate to mount a 360/HypnoDisc style axle for the disc instead of trying to mount it between two thick bulkheads above and below the machine, mainly because I can then just put some weaker (but hopefully impact resistant) armour on top. Just solves a few issues I had previously with the design (weight related, mostly).
Taken a fair few design cues from 360 and Hypnodisc actually, thinking about it... I'll get the sketches uploaded some point this week.
Obviously, this design's going to take a long time to get the money for (can't even afford speed controllers for the current HardWired) but if I can iron out the creases for the next version, it saves a bit of time when I do have the money I suppose. Especially figuring out when/where I can get different parts cut and all, and getting a decent disc designed!
