I will be attending an event this year. Might even make it 2

Looking at the uk wide comp that Jonno mentioned a few weeks ago in August.

Both the feather and (hopefully) the heavy will be in attendance. Currently the heavy is an empty chassis and a pile of parts. I want to get the feather finished first then I will concentrate on the heavy.

Stu, it looks like I will just be able to make the limit, taking 1.8kg and replacing it with just over 500g for the batteries has been a big help! No weight change for the golds. The weight has gone to the pancake at the back.

Is that the 75w pancake motor often used in mig welders? they are quite heavy!

no idea. Bought it off ebay. They cost £90 brand new so I got quite a bargain. It weighs around a kilo. So if I scale up the weights then it the same as using my etek in the heavy
