A new antweighter (again!)

After composing a hobbyking order I would just like to quickly check that I found a good esc, would this link below work on 3 cells:

It specifically says in the specifications:

"Input voltage: 1-2S Lithium batteries"

So that's a no.

Well done me! So much for actually reading things... this is the motor I'm looking at could anyone recommend an esc for this??

That should be fine on 2 cell in all honesty. A faster blade doesn't equal better hits past a point.

Parts ordered (:
Seen as the originally planned flail would need to be homemade and would require the e word...engineering, I am looking now at nicely asking here does anyone have a decent sized bar blade or disc(would probably prefer a bar but anyone willing to give up something sharp for a few coppers would be great)

The worst of the seven dirty words

If you want to use a minimum of engineering you could try making something out of a metal ruler, as those helpfully have the lengths on them already, or ask Will about the discs he made/makes for people.

Also I've generally found for most antweight spinner motors a tiny 6A controller (example) will work, since - in my experience with The Hurting on 2S at least - you have to be deliberately trying to break it to draw more than 8 amps for a few seconds, and one of your other components is probably going to pop before the speedo will.

I'd be interested if you had any bars in the stupidly long end of the spectrum.

Don't get me wrong I really like engineering just rather less comfortable scratch making something very dangerous like my own blade
Haz would love to see your bars! how much do they weigh?

Alex, nothing in stock but send me drawings if you like. Can mill ti, hardox, toolox stainless, alu etc.

Joel (?) I have a variety of weights. I'll find out for you and get a pic taken.
