Crash was drawn against a couple of spinners. Divinity ripped off the acetate and a full-body spinner made a small chip in the chassis but nothing too bad. RDR's wheel and tyre was smashed by a spinner so that will need replacing. Overall we did well. We also drove part of the cluster 'We Should've Brought More Penguins!" which got quite far (top 20 out of over 100!) Thank you to the hosts. We'll be attending again!

fleas are great fun. theyre just like ants only you have to make everything compact and light. 1mm HDPE is what i use for making the body out of. after that it's usually just a case of a nanotwo kit and a reasonably small battery. :)

I'm probably going to say yes to the flea. A new challenge! A pusher, just to start. Then I may go for an ant cluster after this! So Rory, will you regular kits be fine for a flea or do I have to use a smaller kit?

He does a flea kit which is similar except it has shortened axles to fit in the 3" cube

So I'm thinking of modifying Crash. Joel, what did you do to modify it? I want to make it a bit speedier, if possible.
