Inertia XT has its new stainless steel disc. However at 9g it puts it overweight so won't be in the comp but it's very fun to test :)

How many grams overweight is it Will? Wonder if you could use it in the cluster. Mine is only 22g, so there's 3g spare.

Thought I should post my latest line up of Nanoweights :)

Reducto has had one small change with a new custom mix on the TX- has a lot more speed now.

I have also finished 2 new ones- Pinchy and Lumos 2 both of which are very fun to drive :)

Also decided to replace inertia XT with a new spinner which will form a cluster botlet with Inversion- it's only a basic test mockup at the moment as I'm going to print a proper chassis for it.

Thanks, the weight is still around 30g so I've given up making it into a proper nano- I'm currently printing the new chassis which will see it paired up with one of my ants (probably Inversion).

The disc actually packs a fair punch though and part of me is considering making another to use as a fleaweight cluster :)

I'm sure it's doable; If you can get the weight of the whole spinner mechanism (servo board, motor and blade) down to about 18-19 g then you could get it in the weight limit. Though having it as a flea weight cluster sounds more interesting; maybe just make some other 40g non spinner to go with it to make things a bit easier.

I still don't know how that disc is 12g... that's the same as the disk on HSOD! What did you make it out of, depleted uranium? :L
