that looks great, but if its anything like explosion, that will be scary!

Well, that's a bigger ram than in either Iron-Awe's

[mattsdragons]

with a ram that size, i think we may have a UK champ in the making

Damn. could be worse. a Kronic ram!

[jonny]

it's not just about ram size y'know :wink: how many burkerts are you using on that ram?

I know that :P

[jonny]

I wouldn't worry too much guys, the flipper arm's only made out of wood :wink:

[psycho_fling]

i think we all know wood is stronger than people think good work

[blazerbotics]

looking good. The only thing i will mention, if your planning on using the bearings for the flipper, as they are cast the do have a tend to crack the casings.

[Mouldy]

Id second that, we use that type of bearing at work on loads of area's of production... when the shafts sieze up on them and the bearing's carnt be removed easily, a good hit with a hammer and the castings snap in two...

One hit from THZ or Thor on the top of the arm and it could be game over...

You might be better of mounting a block on your back plate with brass bushings going through it... theres no real need to mount the pivot on bearings...

Apart from that it looks really good. Possible new champion in the making
