You guys seem to be pumping out fantastic (looking?) machines at the moment! Really really cool. A teeny bit jealous, I admit. :wink:

Quick question:
If Beetles will be following FW rules with regards to links, lights, cradles and sharp edge protection...does it follow the same rules for Lipo's?

I ask because I can't fit a 2mm base into my design, and I dunno how thick anyone elses bade is on here...

Just break the rules, Its more fun that way.

[davet123]

Rpm's base is 1.6mm titanium

we can be more lenient with the rules when it comes to things like baseplate thickness for lipos, We are using really small lipos so it shouldnt be an issue, Just dont have them exposed.

There isn't actually a rule about the Li-Po base thing, there was just a forum discussion. Besides I'm pretty sure it was to protect the arena floor in case of fire.

But let's face it, any battery can go up (NiCad, Nimh, Li-Po) and if the floor is Hardox then what's the worry?
Maybe in the HW arenas I could see an argument but the RoboChallenge one your BW one?
