I have just built a new flea called Deflea as in to rid the arena of fleas.
It is basically a scaled down version of Defiant .
Weight......75.2gms
Power.......2x 12v precision micro drive motorgearboxes need to upgrade to something faster.
Controller..OptionB63 board with AR6300 receiver
Battery......145mah lipo
Weapon.....0.25mm steel scoop front and back.
Notes........Very slow at the moment.
Normal way up:

Upside down:

Andrew it might well be if only for sentimental reasons as it is only a new servo horn on one side and glue the balsa chassis back together. At the moment I have 10 Ants and that would make two fleas plus three minisumo's and a micromouse wallfollower so I don't really need any more.
Dave the spec for the spektrum SPMS75 servo says 3.2 - 6.0 V.
Variant uses two, one for each lifting tine.

Ok, I'll just use it off the receiver then.
This is what I like to see, a resurgance of fleaweights, because there are others that are building too. I've got Divinity in the build as we speak.
Divinity:
Weight: 62g (all components bar the actual chassis)
Drive: 2x 50:1 gear motors on bling wheels
Battery: 7.4v 135mA lipo
Controls: WallerBoard B63 and AR6300
Weapon: Titanium spinning disc

I'm liking the resurgence in the flea class, for some reason the challenge of building something smaller appeals to me
Little Yellow Taxi
Weight: at or around the 75g mark
Drive: 2 (RW101 special!) 360 degree hacked Naros run off a 2 cell 180mah lipo
Armour: 0.75mm polycarbonate, 0.5mm carbon fibre
Weapons: Front E-Flite 180 brushless outrunner driven titanium bar/disc/spinning object, rear wedge, paving paradise
Notes: Is likely to look a lot better than it actually performs
