Try this one ....The upstart unit.

10 feet per second , 480 pound load , very cool black paint job  :cool:

This version isn't top secret anymore  ;)

it does weigh a bit (25 kg) and won't fit in normal kit , it comes in a peli case and is used for "special" opperations  ;)

The prototype was all ali machined out of solid blocks but there are plans for a moulded kevlar case that will lighten it a lot. though the ali one will last longer .

I've been looking for spare motors to use on a robot wars attack vehical  :twisted: :twisted:
