They are only 25 gm cm so probably not too good for pushing so not going to fit them to n.
The motors are £3.24 each but delivery is £23.83 on top.
If you buy ten then they come out at £65 including delivery which is £6.50 each or half what I paid for the ones in alsoran.

Ok so I said I wouldn't fit the new motors to n but they did seem to have a bit more torque than I was expecting so I knocked up another 4 wheel drive unit. Sorry about the tyre colour I was trying for a matching red but they came out pink so maybe black isn't so bad.

Here it is in action as you can see it is quite lively but with the very small wheels it is just about controllable even with my geriatric reflexes.

As it stands without armour and charging socket it is 15.1 gms.

It looks fantastic! Appears to drive pretty well as well and I just love the pink tyres! :-)

Funny you should say that Dan I am considering it being the new Alsoran.
Here it is in Dominant lookalike form the only problem being with the front and rear scoops, although still under 20gms, it won't fit the 2 inch cube so can't compete as a nano.

Looks excellent; should be a lot more competitive than the existing Alsoran.

If it's not gonna fit as a Nano anyway, you should just load it up with weight to make up the full 150g in the cluster; would be even better against ants then..
