The easiest way to do what you want is to use round belt pulleys, you can get some custom machined or i'm sure Will or somebody with a 3D printer would be more than happy to print you a set.

Just take a bit of time to look at the set ups of some of the current Beetles and you'll get an idea of what works and what doesn't, if you're looking at something similar to the power that Alex's had your set up doesn't have to be all that strong, if it' something like Lynx/Soundwave/Inertia where the power of the weapon is far greater then your support it will have to be fairly beefy.

Yeah know what you mean. Gets frustrating having ideas that are that stretch too far for my build ability. Not that I couldn't learn it, just never come into contact with cad and cnc stuff etc. Totally understand how they go together and appreciate them up close, but build experience is different.

Only one way to get said experience. No one built a spinner before their first spinner, or had experience in CAD before learning CAD. Got to go through the motions!

Yeah good point. Think google sketchup is the free one I've seen without forking out. Like I was an aeronautical technician after school n now design computer networks for a living but its constantly wiring and computers and devices I'm on with so the fabrication is self taught so far. Think cad n CNC n so on is the next step if I want to be serious about progressing into fw champs and spinners n everything.
