Surely you can find something suitable in this list http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category: ... with_nano- :P

There are some pretty tiny brushless motors on here: http://www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/mot ... hless.html ,though if you have an old brushed servo motor or similar, then they seem to work pretty well in nanos if Will's nanos are anything to go by..

I was just expecting Flippanano to be honest.

Dave they all have to be real words even if I sometimes take liberties with the spelling.
Rory I already have a motor but at 6.5 gms without the blade I am concerned it might be too heavy.
Here is the final at least for now version of the flipper.

Here is the brushless motor I am looking to use.

Hah, I'm using the same motor in my drum nano. I've had it lying in a box for years. It'll be tight on weight but I think it is manageable.

The flipper is looking excellent though :D

Think I am going to settle for the smaller motor that Rory found.
Here is the chassis with a clamp built for that motor.

Here it is running with a 1mm thick titanium blade.

Have you tried hitting anything with it yet? My limited experience with nano horizontal spinners is that they go crazy as soon as they hit anything :L

Not yet I have to mold some tyres first and add a receiver/controller but the lack of weight is going to be a problem.

You say problem, I say entertainment.

I'm going to guess at the name Nanobite, Peter?

All finished bar sharpening the blade and only just over weight.

It is not such a handfull with the spinner going as I had feared but it can get out of control even hitting 3.6 gm chassis.
