Yep, 2mm grade 5 Titanium is what you want, especially if you can waterjet it. I got mine from here and it worked well. As for the CAD, while I don't have an appropriate dxf file, the mounting holes for the DYS 1806 (and the Redcon 2204 that Shakey likes) are M2 (2.2mm holes for clearance) on a 9mm ...

Looking good, the new spinner blade and motor look much more dangerous!

The new Killer Wolf is looking really good, a big upgrade on the current version, and the 6 wheeler should be really cool too, looks nice in the cad.

Well, the title says it all really, has anybody run the pololu high power micro gear motors on a 4s lipo? If so, what were the results?

If anybody was looking for specific fights I've added a comment under the main tournament video with time links for all the fights. Enjoy.

I'm sure we'll see it tomorrow, shakey's only signed up 3 ants so far and I was wondering what the 4th would be.

That must be pretty annoying given how many pics you've got there. Unfortunately i don't think that photobucket is worth bothering with anymore, but I can recommend Imgur as a very good replacement.

The other bar was originally made for a different spinner design so didn't have the long reach that the overhead design allows, I'll probably give both a run out next week to see how they fare.
