Riptide Goes to Scotland, gets rekt
It'd be funny if it weren't so true...

Beetles

That above synopsis pretty much tells you all you need to know haha. Alasdair/Suvv's video here:



Fhqwhgads once again turned up unfinished and a last minute rush to get the thing working meant it wasn't in 100% shape, as if it ever was. Was a brand new version of it, with 20mm HDPE on the front and was alarmingly not that over-armoured... Lynx and Spin Cycle were both pushing between 8 and 15mm gouges on each hit, roughly, which is pretty insane.

Managed to win a fight though, against Bonecrusher (which has been conveniently omitted from the above video... ) though in all seriousness Bonecrusher should have had that one by all accounts. I just fell lucky that he drove into the pit!

Working on a new horizontal spinner for the next event/champs, called Zodiac. Basic horizontal spinner, nothing fancy but should hopefully be reliable is what I'm hoping. Think Newton/Spin Cycle but less ambitious and probably not as good hah.

Other things

New featherweight in the works, Zen - horizontal spinner using one of those discs that seem to be everywhere - the 300mm ones like Inertia and Combustion both use. Basically a FW version of Zodiac, similarly unambitious horizontal but more designed for reliability than anything else. Will be a backup in case Overdrive underdrives again. Probably an SK3 or NTM 5060 motor, 6s, disc speed aiming for about 6-7000 there abouts, nothing extreme but fun all the same!
