Re: Tanto 5

Love it, is it even smaller than before? The forks are a lot better. Can't wait to fight it.

Re: Tanto 5

indeed, and I know I can make it smaller too

design wise its got all the bits that worked in Tanto 3 (which was the best one) and the bits that worked from Tanto 4 (which was pretty much only the gearboxes) and made it as small as i could, whole thing was cut out of 10mm and then machined to shape

dispite being rusty its the best Tanto we've made I think

Go on, get it sandblasted or something

Looking very nice Craig, good luck with the rest of it. Hopefully I will be making it along to Barnsley (just waiting on some info before I can start confirming things) so will love to see it in action.

[craig_colliass]

Re: Tanto 5

95Kg travelling at 25mph is weapon enough for me!
