360 - mini hypnodisc

[PJ-27]

That looks immense Dave! Looking forward to seeing it spin up.

Are you using normal bearings in the beater mounts?

[Mouldy]

17mm go-kart bearings...out of tornados old wheels lol...found em in my shed in my pile of bits n bobs.

[PJ-27]

Old - pile - bits, your speaking my language!

Neat idea though, we've got some bearings from a lawnmower gearbox for Bitza 2 and I was concerned they wouldn't hold up to the impacts, but wheel bearings would be fine.

Very smexy dave, and the robots not bad either

[RogueTwoRobots]

Exceptional as always Dave.
Once you get the Speed 900s fitted and the beater running you could have a real contender on your hands. Powerful weapon, and a powerful drive to back it up.

Been contemplating a beater for Drumroll for a while now but reckon I'll stick with the drum. Calling it Beatroll doesn't quite work as well.
That, and the fact my beater would probably be plain and boring by comparison

[Mouldy]

thanks for the comments guys...

lipo not fully charged and bad quality video but;

[harry hills]

well it sounds scary

[mattsdragons]

That looks and sounds scary

Will we be seeing it Sunday?

[RogueTwoRobots]

Very nice Dave, will be good to see it smashing up stuff.

I'm finally seriously looking into Scorpion motors and lipos for Drumroll as a winter upgrade, figure it's time to play with the big boys rather than trying and failing. It's a Castle Creations ICE speedo you use for your motor isn't it?

[Mouldy]

yep, with a larger capacitor soldered to the input to smooth voltage ripple... i use a castle creations ICE 200A esc...details about it previously in the build diary motor is a HK4025 - 890KV, lipo is a flightpower 6s 4000mah...

And yeah ill be at kidderminster on sunday... no spinners though so ill be running it just with the hardox shell bolted on, as per the uk champs.
