Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

not done an update in a while been busy with work and other stuff..

Haven't done anything on my projects but ive been running a voluntary course to get kids involved in engineering via cadburys..

Helped them design and build a power tool drag racer ;





Wont be that fast as its only powered by a 31cc strimmer engine- quite lightweight though, and the kids who will be driving it dont exactly weigh a lot..

in the background you can see our other project- the shell eco challenge petrol car, basically the same thing but even lighter with an areodynamic shell and a 4stroke engine instead of a 2 stroke...

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Haven't had an offer quite what i was after for 360, seems a shame to leave it in my wardrobe so Ive had a look at it...

Going to bite the bullet and fork out for a scorpion XXL and a 6s outrage lipo to give the drive a bit more boost so i can use the magnet, after testing at the gadgetshow live with the new disc motor and disc combination properly 360 has now gone from being slightly silly to drive to totaly un-controllable, so for competition fights id either have to run half throttle or put the magnet in it.. dont see much point in having a weapon like that and not being able to use it to its maximum potential

I'll get pictures and stuff when i make some progress Hopefully it will be done in time for the uk's so i can smash beauty again.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Small update-

During the gadgetshow live demo's i had to smash up a few printers.. someone left the catridge in and my fancy disc paintjob got totaled.. that and the plastic from the printer shreded the lacure.. so i spent about an hour polishing the disc back to how it used to be,

Not sure if i should get tom to airbrush me another spiral on or not?

before;


after the elbow grease;


I've also ordered a 6s lipo pack to run the drive of, as an upgrade from the 4s it used to run on... going to try the magnet out again and see if it has enough power now, ive got a feeling it will be ok aslong as the ground clearance is ok. Ill order the scorpion xxl soon.

The lipo i ordered;

I have 400g to play with, so hopefully the bigger lipo and the magnet should still be within the weight limit. Im sure it will be.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Looks better without spiral. Put a sausage on the disk so one ends near the center of the disk and the other end towards the outside of the disk and spin it, record it and upload vid to youtube.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

dave, missed a bit on the center of the disk.....

[Mouldy]

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I know, couldn't be bothered to un bolt the centre cap, I'll do it tomorow

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

As awesome as Tom's paint jobs are, and as frequently as I asked when you were going to get a spiral painted on the disc, I have to say it now looks better without it

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

have you heard anything more about getting its picture taken with hypno disc?

[Mouldy]

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

no news on any pics with hypno.. totaly forgot to be honest...


Good news ..

Shrimec FINALY works.. mechanicaly lol.

Think the reason it was failing before was due to a worm gear sliding down the shaft when going one direction- the gear was grub screwed to the shaft which has a flat down the length of it, when it moved forward it rubed on the gearbox front plate causing it to grind then stall..... just put a dimple in it for the grub screw to sit in and it seems to of helped...

now turns over in about a second.

the speedo's are of to dave gamble again so he can repair them... should go back together nicely.

Also should be making a start on the new mounting for the new lipo tomorow.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

battery box made, just needs welding up;



Scorpion XXL turned up from robot marketplace, just a picture showing the size difference between the xxl and the sabertooth 10a;



hmm going to have to make a new mount for it.. but it looks like it going to fit, just about!

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Might also start on a new armour shell.. due to a few nasty axe's and crushers being made im making a new shell from grade 5 titanium.
