Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

its not a tx thing as such, it would drive the same way on any tx, it just feels better on a pistol grip

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

got some parts for the new one



Picked them up from an Aussie for $150Aus... not bad Also got a sidewinder, some 3.2mm hardox and some 5mm ti sorted for it. Just need some big billets of alumec89 now for the chassis, some ali bar to machine the wheels from and a lipo.

Think I'm going to just keep 540 as a rammer for a bit to use at normal events- and to play with when 360 breaks down lol

Not sure yet if i should go for 4WD or 6wd though.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I think your going to have a tough battle with Beauty 2 and Toonimator.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Yeah I was impressed at the damage inflicted on your arena walls by Toonimator last year. I don't know if it was because the arena walls couldn't go anywhere (whereas a 13.6kg opponent will remove some of the sting of the weapon by being thrown away) but it's one I'm keeping my eye on.

360 turns quite nicely so could probably avoid taking damage to the more vulnerable parts of the robot, but then its unpredictability when it's gyro-dancing could see it accidentally hit Toonimator's disc with the rear of the robot. Having said that, with the magnet there will be less of the gyro-dancing so we could get a nice disc-on-disc moment. Definitely one to get on video - go Dave
