The new brushless for Inertia XS1 came today- fitted it and tested the disc- really pleased with this one- the drive is more stable than either of the antweight versions so it looks like the next ant version will be using the same design.

Here is a video of it in action at 50% throttle

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing both of them in the arena together- should make for an interesting cluster :D

The parts for XS2 arrived today but I will have to wait to get it made as I go back to uni on Saturday but it will be done for the AWS.

I am now wondering whether this idea of having 2 Inertias as a cluster would work for the feathers- I'm very tempted to find out :)

Decided to give Inertia XS the coke can test- seems to do the job- also gives you an idea of how small it really is :)

returning once again here is Bernard Black!
need a lot of weight lost, might just make a lighter Manny and run a cluster but where is the fun in that.
i will probably look into a d2 board (the ridonkulusly small one) to save a bit of weight, but will that be able to run a brushless aswell?

What's it weigh Haz? Doesn't look like there'd be much you could do to reduce weight. Smaller wheels?

could knock a bit of weight off by going to servo drive but that aint happening.
smaller esc and brushless would probably do the trick.
wonder if anybody has a plush 6a around

Could you have an interchangable mode between the fleaweight comp and as part of a cluster? So, lighter, smaller wheels for the FWS, then put the good wheels on for the AWS, and make a lighter Manny to go with it?
