It would be a shame to butcher such a nice piece of machining. Another thing to keep in mind is that mass further away from the centre moves faster so adds more KE to the weapon so keep that in mind when thinking of how to lighten it.

It would be possible to use a disk that big but not with the components you are looking at using. I would leave the disk for now and just get everything else working then make another which you can swap out.

machining wise its pretty standard only took a couple of hours,and if you see in the pic my bearing cap has 4 bolt holes but only 3 bolts thats cause I used a blunt tap and broke off while tapping,so this disk i will experiment on for wight redution.And as for milling slots for the teeth I was thinking about it when i first made the disk but i want to see how the teeth hold up first,o and the shape of the teeth isnt finally yet either.
I was just trying to get it together to test everything.

new frame but still needs some finishing touches.

Nice work, huge wheels though! Hope the drills can handle it. That scooter motor will be happy running 1:1 or even less to that blade, they have tonnes of torque.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I agree with dyrodium, I think that those wheels may be a little too big for the drill motors to comfortably push

medals for the edge comp....on the back they just have 1st 2010 but i couldnt get a good pic of it

They are good looking medals.

Here is M.I.L.F pretty much finished other then some batts and paint

I like the giant wheels, reminds me of Robot Wars on TV where everything was huger

have you test driven it?

Yeh Ive drivin it,and it handles like a brick lol and the wheels are a little to hard and slip a bit.

not a bad thing as long as its not excessive wheelspin - it will save your gearboxes from excess strain

thought i would get on the band wagon and build an antwieght its not totally finshed yet and i havent named it..

Well done.

Looks familar

Which motor for the weapon are you using. I like the hub. Much better then cable ties.

yeh sorry if it looks like anybodys its hard not to make a spinner that looks like another one.
I think im using a Turnigy 28-22-CQ 1400Kv Brushless Outrunner
but it didnt come with the hub if thats y ur asking I m/c it myself.
