Beetleweight events coming soon!
Hey guys
At long last the beetle weight FULL COMBAT arena will be put to use and its new owner (Shane Swan of Air/Envy fame) will be bringing it to the FRA Heavyweight champs at Deeside in September, so I am posting here to gauge interest of potential beetle builders and to let you know that, with the arena now active, so is the weight class
I will be making on my own beetle shortly and I would encourager others to do the same
Rules for beetle weights are the same as featherweights but with a 1.4kg weight limit (rounded up from 1.365kg (3lbs)).

Re: Beetleweight events coming soon!
I'm actually pretty tempted by the weightclass in the light of all the interest on the FRA forum. Might give it a go, I will be free that weekend and haven't been to any heavyweight events in so long. Will there be featherweights there too?

Before you criticize another person, first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when you critisize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

The tape is slightly to hold it together, but mostly to illustrate where the pollycarbonate will be cut off, the sign was just for a laugh, there is a proper logo being made.
Oh, and antweights are welcome to use this arena too if its free....if they are man enough

Re: Beetleweight events coming soon!
I am interested. Although I can imagine its going to turn into uber silly spinners due to a lack of pit. Having said that there are lots of off the shelf electronics that could make this almost as cheap as ants. I am thinking a 9 times scaled up nom nom nom
