Hi Im just wondering what the highest rpm spinner ant is?

Re: fastest spinner ant

I'm not sure about others but all of the Inertia ants and fleas run at about 15,000rpm- The main thing to keep in mind at these speeds is to have a perfectly balanced disc otherwise the vibrations will make it undriveable.

15,000 rpm from a 7.2v fleaweight is unbelievable :shock:

I think the original DBA one-tooth used a GWS 2205/5t outrunner (2160kv) @ 4s, so 31000rpm....

Thanks

Re: fastest spinner ant

i have a tiny spektrum rx if that's any use to you.

Re: fastest spinner ant

Thanks but I only have a planet 5 and a giant cod
The spektrum would only be useful with a transmitter
Thanks for replying
