Re: fleas
That is a suitably silly disk, what Speedo are you using?
I have also got the legs running on my flea, I had to put in some slower motors due to the friction in the cams. Need to solder in the electronics this evening, not much more needed now.
This could be a very silly cluster...

Re: fleas
It could cope with a heavier disc, there's a lot of weight to be saved on the rx and speedo as the current ones are quite large, but that would have meant buying new a new Speedo and receiver, and cutting a new disc, so I stuck with what I had. It vibrates a lot at low speed, but seems fine at full speed, like it used to when it was on Randar. Andy, any chance I could borrow your prop balancer on the day? Haven't seen mine since I cut this disc about 6 years ago...
Its a HobbyKing 10a speedo, and fortunately I now know how to turn the brake off.

Re: fleas
Excellent. Cheer mate, much appreciated.
And getting this back on topic, here's some more fleas!
The one on the left is Shatner's Bassoon, weighing in at a weedy 52g, and on the right is Quark, a slightly more impressive 70.3g.
Quark has an axe/hammer, which is mainly there for self righting purposes, but who knows what might happen..... No weapon for Shatner's Bassoon, but I may see what I can sort tomorrow night. Both are also due a shiny new paint job for Saturday.

Re: fleas
I like the wheels on Shatner's Bassoon, what are they made of? (cake?)
It looks like there's going to be a lot of very good fleas this weekend - will have to step my game up a bit...
