Recently found out that I won't be finishing my fw for a while so I'm going to focus on my antweight builds for now, I'm going to build a spinner and change the flipper I'm part way through building into a front hinged flipper With hdpe armour

Single, so you need two of them

If you want a dual motor speed controller, you can get the Sabretooth of technobots which seem to be more commonly used in the UK

You'd be better off asking on RW101

Looks alright. I'm by no means an expert, but that white stuff looks quite thick. [/outofcontext]

Are you going to put one of the little table football guys on the top for a head? =D
