I have lots of parts. Lots of stuff. I'm going to quickly throw something together for GCRS to beat Evan Steeves, but on a more serious note, I have an awesome beetle design that I'm still refining. I'll keep you updated.

I have broken ground on CANNIBAL. It is a vertical disk of awesomeness. Much better than shred. Much.

THIS IS IT.
The blade weighs 186g by itself with no motor. I'm excited. I still have to make everything else, but the weapon assembly is close to done!

After round 1 of modifications, I weigh in at 483 grams (which, as I'm sure you know, is about 30g over), so I definitely need another round (like I forgot to cut down the weapon shaft! DUH), but here it is in it's intermediate, fully assembled stage:

It's not TOO bad to drive, I just need to make some adjustments on my DX6i to get it controllable. It can outrun Jim's Shazbot, so I'm happy. That means I have a chance! Granted, I can't push worth a poo, but it'll run fast
