Falls apart. Cheeky beggar. It's only the front panels. It took LS3 to get anything else off.

Kaizer did fall into disrepair though. I was distracted building a pneumatic flipper so it got worse & worse. Didn't help that the lack of end switches was slowly destroying the lifter everytime I switched the machine on.

Still Dave's got it atm & is removing the weaknesses. He's started well by removing me. lol.

18V was scary!

If you do decide to go brushless, just go for one motor. 360 ran two brushless motors originally but changed to one slightly larger one (can't remember the exact reasons why) but the weapon appears to have been more reliable since then. Plus you've got double the costs with two motors and two ESCs.

gave it another spin up on a fully charged 12v battery, was much better. span up in a couple of seconds and no smoke this time

It's looking really good mate. Bet it's got some grunt behind it now with those Gimsons! Get some videos of it in the arena, interested to see how it compares to your average four drill pusher.
