Weve decided that two pushers with really good armour wont be too hard to beat after all. So could you add Push n Shove and Annihilation to the list of teams please.

you gotta get their 1st jonno! :wink:

also Can anyone tell me if i have a partner yet (under 10.4kg) i know someone mentioned teaming up with me but could do with confirmation, i dont want to be the person left till last to get picked. (reminds me of school days at football practice).

also tested the disk last nite on 12v, and that was scary enough... dread to think what its like if i switch it to 24v. will try both options on the day to see what works best.

how long it take to spin up? as u have about 2 seconds b4 rip slams u into wall and then bang ur out :-)

Is it ok if we bring an overweight Aftershock to have a go in the whiteboards?? We really need to give it a good test before we start to make the new, lighter body for it next year.

dont know how long it takes to spin up except its almost instant on 24v, and a couple of seconds on 12v. rip can try it, but the only advice i can give for your cheek, is make sure you take me out first.:wink:
