SmallPox Test Spinup

Eric, while bored very late one night decides to test out an old shell and some potential motors on his new antweight, SmallPox. This test is powered by a nearly empty 2400mah 7.2v NiCd, a phoenix 10 esc, and a Feigao 1208436 brushless inrunner. This motor is ~1/2" in diameter. Insane... The final robot will likely run on 7.4v of 730mah Lipo and TWO of these motors. Imagine what a full battery and twice the motor would do to this spinup. Also, the shell was 13oz... Design is aiming for 8oz shell on final design. Sweet.

I'm thinking of building a full-bodied spinner too. What do you use for a shell?

It's a billet of aluminum I milled down to like 5.75 od, 1/8" wall, and like 1/4" top thickness (didn't have enough time left in the shop, sadly... it makes it unusable).

It's a test of some components for a 1 pound combat robot.
