Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Both robots done and should be ready for the fun

I think the idea of no fight no points seems fair, the chance of either one of our robots getting a knock out means this rule won't apply by default.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's efforts on the drag racing side, it may get me interested in making something next year.

Got boner running well, it's insane on two speed 900s with lipos! Got a slight alignment issue on the ride on racer with the clutch, hopefully a quick disassembly and realignment should sort that out. Stock racer is good to go and I haven't built a modified yet but have plans for a VERY crude one.

Incidentally does anyone has a spare male connector for the non ride on racers I could buy off you at the event?

Aftershock 2 is finished just needs charging and some gas and its ready to go.

Whirlpool still needs work doing to it- motor needs replacing just opened up the old one and the gearbox is completely smashed got a spare but its being a real pain to replace since i can't get the wheel or mount off the old motor. If I can get that done then it needs some more anti spinner armour fitted.

I will also be bringing Whirlwind along to have a go in any whiteboards.

Finally the dragster is finished made a few changes this year- now its 4WD with some very nice new wheels fitted so its looking good.

Also I'll be camping thursday/friday/saturday just a small tent, Dad will be coming along on saturday as well.

Looking forward to it now- just hope I can finish Whirlpool in time.

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Just given Drumroll II its first spin-up. Well, semi spin-up; I was holding the motor with my hand so didn't feel safe taking it up to anything more than 1/3rd throttle but it goes like stink at that
Some balancing is in order as it does have a bit of wobble to it but first I'm off to mount the motor in place so I can do a full on test
Should all be ready to go in two days.

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

Well it took a while but Whirlpool is running on all 4 wheels once again not sure if I'll have time to fit any more armour but at least its moving.

Just got to pack everything up and we're ready to go, even found a full gas bottle so Aftershock 2 is ready to enter the arena with a few days to go- must be a record for us

Hi John

Sorry there's going on since your question ... Toony spinny thingy , as you put it, is working fine & has been ready & waiting for 2 weeks now .... It just wants to play. I believe if I'd had this disc on Scorpion Evil I would have killed Tiny Toon long ago.


Looking forward to the event

See you all Friday


John

PS There is going to be a form for every machine that will need filling out so that judging can be monitored completely.
Good Luck to all

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

flywheel on my ride on has cracked so unless i'm able to find a replacement/repair it then I'm most likely out of the ride on competition

Re: 2010 Featherweight UK Championships - 3 Days September

im still going, Just gunna take the ride on for a mess about. Could have brought savage evo and a rambot but it means packing radio gear, more tools and the chargers. Be a nice long weekend break not having to mess about repairing robots and stuff. just gunna throw Stihl bike in back of car and thats it prob. Then still got to repair and test stihl bike. Its still not been run or tested since I broke the engine a few month ago. Was going to test it tonight bud had no 2stroke on me. Its low on compression and im using a flywheel and ignition module of something else and really low compression. in testing I got it doing 38mph before it died. be lucky if it does 10-15 now.
