Well,after the brilliant AWS33,Bruce now looks like this...

As a result of this tussle with Millitant...

Looks worse than it is.
Bruce still runs,all electronics are 100% ok.
One wheel was jammed onto the servo,but moving it slightly,freed it up.The flipper servo arm snapped before any damage was done to the servo,so I guess I should consider myself lucky!! :o

I had an idea of a fleaweight which is just using a tiny taperoll as a chassis. Althought I have never done that, yet. You think any of you could make something like that before me?
