Returning to build my first HW

[Bodge Job]

Ahh brilliant, glad these motors are up to it and wasn't planning on supporting the ends of the motors so thanks for the suggestion, ill add in some more support. Using 3/8" chain should be no problem so glad checked before started anything! Ill try to get the ragebridges directly from him then, and use one per side. (but its nice to know their potentially capable of driving two, means I could shove one it dual mode if I burn out all my other controllers aha)

And yeah good old bruiser, I still have that kicking around somewhere, and sadly the axe never worked reliably enough to compete it (and the small issue that the whole thing weighed like 16kg with the axe attached) so it never made it to an event. Might have to drag it along (axeless to an event along with the new feather at some point

And I've ended up being involved in two heavies. I have been wanting to build my own so am most of the way though the designs of that, and hopping to start to get the parts when im home over Easter. But a few weeks ago I ended up joining with a group of people at my uni who are also in the process of building a heavy. Some electrical engineers had started the club and managed to get funding from the uni for it (took nearly a year but they have managed to get a decent amount now) and then invited some mech eng people along (me and a few others) to help with its construction, as we have access to the uni workshops and are supposedly meant to have a better idea of how to put it together :P. So been helping them out how I can, and hopefully steering the design in the right direction (Im obviously not that experienced my self, but tried to give them what knowledge ive picked up over the years and introduced them to a lot of the online resources like here, and riobotz tutorial etc). So even if I cant afford to build my own, ill still be involved in making a heavy
But was wondering (particularly for reference for the uni design) what kind of ballpark is the current energy in heavy spinners? Vaguely remember reading pp3d was something massive like 60kj (can’t find where ever I plucked that figure from though), but what energy are the more “average” spinners achieving? :P
