    I know I shouldnt be 'running before I can walk' but I've already gone and got the bar sorted and bought some more powerful batteries to handle the drive and the bigger spinner motor. I figure with some advice froms guys that have already built spinners I'll be ok! :P

    I've also got some 20 mm HDPE im gonna use for the chassis and some 5 mm polycarb which im going to triple up to 15mm for the base .. gonna line the insides of the hdpe in rubber to absorb some of the shock (there must be a massive shock going through these little machines when they get clattered by a spinner ect).

    I've got some old speedos from when I was going to build a feather before but never ended up doing it lol .. but I reckon I'll need some better ones so yeah best place to buy speedos online?
