I have ripped the four HP 30:1's out of Dominant and upgraded Deflea and the tracked pincer ant I have been experimenting with. Here is the result in Deflea.

Thats rather worrying

I notice the front kicks up when you accelerate, hopefully I can get under that

Thats scarey how far Fleas have come since AWS 26, because we were all servo driven back then. The only seriously fast flea has been Psycho Flea.

Well the unnamed flea is progressing fairly well, I'm currently on a break from college and my tap set arrived this morning so I've been tapping all the holes on the 3D printed chassis, all I need to do is get the armour cut and fitted and find some way of getting the spaghetti bolognese wiring underneath the lid. Hopefully it should be ready for the competition on Sunday

Some pics:

Credit for the rather awesome chassis has to go to Scott rather than me, he did the design work based on a couple of pics I sent him

Looking good Joey, best of luck for the weekend

Just seen 'the yet unnamed fleaweight' in action at RL- He is very good!
I would name him ' Black Cracker' because he looks like one!

It's getting a rebuild, it needs Spektrum and a new chassis after I left it in with Inertia

Thanks for the comments though, I think this design's a winner

sorry about that Joey, I didn't realise that it caused that much damage.

It's alright Will, no worries

the chassis badly needed redoing anyway, it was more flexible than me or Scott had anticipated so I had to do some surgery around the wheel holes to get it to move, that'll be fixed with the next version.

Also as a note to myself carbon fibre under tension makes bad armour
