Cheers James, That part was worth all the effort i recon. This week i've been ive been machining the upgraded back part of the motor, something I didn't get time to do before the champs. I'll put some pics of that up soon.

In the meantime, here is some more of the original build diary...

An early stage of the titanium bar, lower ali bearing support, and titanium shaft.

I machined the Titanium shaft first to 30mm diameter for the main part (as shown). Thanks to Grant for advising thats overkill. Saved 250 grams going from 30mm to 25mm bearings, a few more grams saved on the shaft and potentially saved the bar from snapping as the hole (weakness) through the weakest part of the weapon bar was reduced in size.
