Jamie I am back in the UK on Friday. I will be in Edinburgh until around the 27th or 28th so drop me an email with what you are after and I will see what I can do.

25mm Tony? Ideal height for a disc on disc collision

Lol, was just kidding with the hardox, gonna just stick with the HDPE as its a lot easier to work with in a bedroom
Plus it should absorb the impacts and dissipate some of the energy moderately well

I dont think Hooligans aluminium wedge is going to do too well against spinners.

No worries mate, you know where I am if you need some

tom, i know i can take real big chunks out of 6mm mild steel if that helps, its mainly any sharp corners you need to worry about (sides of wedge) i never really do alot to front of wedge unless i get a lucky hit. also round the sides and back is where you mainly get the most damage. if your worried/came up against me just stop moving and i would understand you have had enough and leave you alone from then on. the best advice is always drive flat out and front on at a spinner, that was the advice i was given and it worked well for me.

Tom at the fw uk champs this year, 4 4 toon got well and truly trashed by Hornet but kept on running,as did Block of Wood.Just go for the spinners full on and worry about the consequences later,its a great laugh beleive me.

If im driving Hooligan it will be full on all the time. It took me a night and a bit of a morning to build so it can be very easily rebuilt after the event. The outside frame is 60mm x 40mm x 3mm Mild Steel Box Section so you spinners are going to have a hard time getting to the electronic bits inside. Only thing is i wanna repaint it and i wont want the paintwork scratching.
