Beetleweight Brawl 2018 (unofficial thread)

[Albear]

Nah, its a bit of a long story. Ive got a pair of 30a also and there absolutely fine. Ive heard good things about afro's so lemme know how you get on!

[MrkLeigh]

I use the 12a for my drive I only have 30a for my weapon motor which in the last even run between 70-100% during fights. You'll see for yourself come the 10th no need to let you know

sounds good/threatening haha

[MrkLeigh]

Lol this is only going to be my second event and to be fair everyone is so helpful and welcoming. No threat intended. 😬👍🏻

[Albear]

just the thought of a spinner is threatening enough :P i just want to meet people, have some fun and see some good fights. Not fussed about getting smashed lol

[MrkLeigh]

Yeah all those boxes will be ticked.

[Ocracoke]

Agreed, you'll definitely see some good matches. Only 11 more days now until the event... I really need to tidy up the last little bits and pieces on Shu!

[Craaig]

I guess it's probably time to start building...

[Ocracoke]

I'd say so

Hi guys, there's a little (and i mean little) alan key that tightens up the grub screw that holds the polualu hubs to the shaft of my motors... however... said key has vanished into thin air which means i cant tighten my hubs! if anyone has one of these or similar do you mind being a hero and bringing it on Saturday? Would be much much appreciated. Ta!

[Ocracoke]

Do you have a link to the hubs being used?

I've got another lifting arm made that should hopefully negate spinners (hopefully) and a third one in progress specifically for the Nuts event.

[Scottie]

Myself and couple of other will be bringing and arrangement of tiny alan keys. We will definitely have some for m3 grub screws.

[Ocracoke]

Well that was an excellent day. Plenty of weird and wonderful creations on display and some excellent bouts. Many thanks to the folks running the event and the UWE for having us. I wish Shu!'s lifting arm motor hadn't broke during the fight with Crabsoluetly Clawful but never mind. :P

[Albear]

Yer, thank you so much to the event organisers, sponsors and the UWE for a fantastic day, I had an amazing time! Thank you also to all the really wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly people i met that really made the day special. I've never known a community like it and its genuinely 50% the reason i want to go back and put myself through it all again! Also a big thanks to K2 for going easy on me in the first fight! I appreciate it! I think we can all agree its the best upturned ice scoop on the beetleweight circuit at the moment... Now where did i put my stickers?
