Had a slight issue with Inertia's XS1 and 2, the setup has broken 2 motors now so I have done a few mods to the last motor I have in the hope it will stay together for long enough to take part in the AWS.

I have taken the drive out of XS2 and put it into a litte 2WD pusher- its very light and pretty quick- will weigh it it in a bit but I reckon it is only around 50g.

That looks fantastic! I'd seen your 4 bar lifter video but hadn't realised it was for a flea! Amazing what you've crammed into such a small weight limit and great paint job too.

I second that, you've done a brilliant job there :) as always I'm amazed at how compact it all is, hehe!

Cheers guys. :)
It started out as an idea for an ant,but after I weighed all the components,I thought I'd try and squeeze it into a flea!
Hopefully I wont break it before I get it to Brighton! :roll:
