Microship ues EV Warrior on a heavy disc, over 1kg, proberly 2kg not sure. A V Belt Drive like he uses would be near enough perfect. It seemed to get up to speed very quick without slipping. Was very good.

I cant afford to finish off micro-maul, let alone buy an astro at the moment :sad: Ill see how it goes for now, luckily I should have quite alot of testing time before Magna

Oh, Ive just had a brainwave... Does anyone know what motor Tantrum and that nasty looking vertical spinner use? (both I saw at RC Wars a few months back)

I have an EV warrior motor with two custom CNC mounts (without the heatsink)

...that I could sell or swop. Im looking for 3mm hardox, Ti sheet 1mm, and speed controllers (after blowing up my H5s in Aberystwyth)

I use that weapon set up in microCHIP and its very powerful @ 24v

Team Vertex featherweight, Vertical Limits has a 200mm 3.45+kg flywheel powered by a 300psi compressor (Mini EV) and it spin up pretty fast (under 5 secs for 63%).

If anyone wants to see a video of it against a concrete brick, just email me at: knightrousoxide (at) gmail.com

Picture also on my profile.
