W00T! Stinger's back!

Nice paintjob on the wheels, did you model it on your ugg boots?

Right, finished them as far as they will be.

Dantomkia has drive on two wheels (roughly at the same time too), weighed in at 101.7kg with a full bottle of gas.

Went a bit mad with Hydra cutting out any bit of metal we could. At Whitwick it weighed in at 103.4kg (with 1.4kg of safety restraints). Weighed it yesterday and it weighed 97kg (with 1.4kg of safety restraints) and no gas. So an overall loss of 4.4kg which i was quite pleased with. It's still not finished but it'll be running, hopefully with one weapon and at about 30bar so it should be fun if it works (was running at 10bar before) .

Any updates at all from the weekend?

[RogueTwoRobots]

Give them time, they were only one hour into the first show when you posted that :P

[liambryant]

Oh, my bad

Anyway, I'll leave the question for them there for when the event does finish

Brief summary from Team Hydra's point of view:

Dantomkia worked!!! broke an axle then developed a gas leak then got a spanking off beast.

Hydra worked but the weapons failed. Couln't get under aha so got a spanking off aha.

Not good day but suppose it happens

A good event all round really.

Stinger worked€¦. For a little bit€¦. Problems with the receiver switches meant it was a bit unreliable for the two fights it did. Once I get 2 BEC€™s fitted it should be all good.
Craig€¦. Ive gained a lot more respect for you with St Hammer€¦.. didn€™t realise just how hard it would be to drive€¦. Try and turn it at speed and it flips over€¦ good fun though and loved seeing it run again.

Ripper is Back€¦. After a few months of development Ive finally cracked it, loved nearly selfrighting out of the arena was good fun, always nice to flip BEAST out too. LOL

Two really good entertaining shows, lots of good comments from people, just a shame they had no money to spend.

Thank you to Dave W, who yet again helped us till the end€¦.. he helped both EO€™s this weekend€¦ RL on Friday / Saturday and then us from 7am until we finished at 10pm yesterday. Also thanks to the 2 offers of help when they got to the venue, and the rest you know who you are.

The updated league table is up, there€™s a link on the front of the RR website. Videos will be on our You Tube account later tonight.
