Makes me wonder what my phone was doing to trigger a major failure in the LiPo, seeing as you guys seem to very rarely come across it in much more hard working environments!.


I'm intending on making the outcome of my first attempt legal for fights should the opportunity fall my way. I'm not entirely sure how HDPE will hold up against spinners, i've no idea how powerful spinners of featherweight design can be? Found a supplier local for HPDE and they stock from 1mm up to 30mm, can get a one large sheet and cut it down to size and probably have some left over so i can shape some spare parts - next decision would be how thick I want it to be. That itself might be a learning curve of getting the perfect thickness for defense without too much hassle on weight / slowing things down / awkwardness of tinkering with and quick repair if needed to be done in a hurry.
Although at the end of the day, even if it comes home in a bin bag, fun would have been had and things would have been learnt, so not that bad of an outcome really! Think that's the best way to look at that very possible outcome...


Side note, just got confirmation of some tickets for the Robot Wars next season filming in May. Looking forward to that!
