The front of this is a razor plane blade so be careful if you pick it up.

good to see you reverting back to good old fashioned servo flippers I want to have my HPXF servo back but it keeps stripping gears under the stress, so I had to use a metal one

I'll be posting pics and stats of my new one (Good and Evil) soon.

Gear motors in a flea = awesome

I would love to see a of that thing!

How did you use the servo board for a speedo? Did you use 2?

and how did you find a speedo that small for that brushless?

hmmm in general.... how did you find electronics that small?

I'm working hard on my prototype whcih should be ready by September at the latest:

I wasn't very happy with the first version of Ignite, I rushed the build a bit so that I could take it to RIAT to play with but after a couple of friendly fights it had a few issues.

So here is the newer one:

Name: Ignite 2
Weight: should be 145g
Length:9cm
Width: 10cm
Height: 4.5cm
Weapon: 100psi Pneumatic flipper with 2 rams & high flow valve
Armour: Welded 1 & 2mm thick HDPE
Drive: 2x 30:1 motors
Speedo: Pete's Option A controller
Rx: Ar500

I have tried out the flipper system and it seems promising with a large number of flips, it won't be quite at the same level as Anticide yet though (still some more work to do)

I will try to get some pics taken over the weekend but if it looks anything like the CADs then I will be very happy.
