Just finished the first set of spin up tests with hornet 2.
Managed a good dozen spin ups with the disc mechanism working well. The disc is obviously unbalanced as it was vibrating the entire machine around a bit.
The vibrations managed to dislodge a number of bolts which allowed the disc to flex slightly and to take out the flange on the timing belt cog attached to the magmotor.
Bit of repair work to do and some improvements to be made but it is looking good for the eurochamps in july.
Photo of the damage to the timing belt cog is on my profile and i will be uploading videos to youtube soon.
Prodigy rebuilt- pic on profile, just got to cut the polycarb lid, mount the link and its done, now has 8 & 10mm polycarb armour, alot lower aswell it now plains the floor,upgraded batteries, thanks to everyone involved over the last few weeks, you know who you are. see you at euro champs saturday if your going, uk champs was a 3rd place, so looking to improve on that:wink:
just started putting on the armour onto psycho fling, parts riveted some bolted others will be screwed, hopefully ill be able to get it into working order (including lifter) for wales
