Nope, damage from Avenger. Needs more duct tape and maybe some foam around the battery bay

Avenger is so cool ....that it is worth a bit self destruction......only a minor trade off...love this bot...was defiantly the crowd favourite. Cant wait to see his bigger brother in action!

Should position that battery under Avenger's axe and give it the chop and video it Smile

TBH I would expect very little to happen.

It will get chopped... probably fly off somewhere and go more puffy. They are pretty hard to make them catch fire.

How do you control the axe? Do you just work one leaver back and forward on the Tx or what?

Yep. It's actually side to side on the left hand stick. I don't use limit swithes because I don't know how to. I prefer a low current motor and a high current speedo in case my reflexes are off. Probably explains the stretched chain and busted motor

Already tried. Nothing happened. I also shorted the lead which caused the wires to catch fire but the battery was fine. I ended up setting the blow touch onto it but that only blew each cell induvidually and didn't let out much smoke. I was rather disappointed. I'll post the video when my new computer arrives.

Vendetta Jr's chassis just got printed and is due to arrive next tuesday Very Happy
And I've decided to make a second ant weight but I think if my idea fits in the weight limit it would still be banned. The scales say I still have 53g left so I need to buy some water balloons tomorrow and see if it will work. I keep thinking it should be called Achmed.
