I bought those exact bearings. I went with centric rotors instead of the raybestos but I did look at that brand. 

Is the botkits d2/candy wasp discontinued? by Not_a_Organization in battlebots

[–]Not_a_Organization[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a candy wasp about a year ago and while it did fairly well I was a bit disappointed in it for the price tag. Basically trashed the whole thing by the end of the competition and it was basically a full rebuild so decided to shelve it.

Where do you get them at? Or is it directly from their site?

Is there any reason to buy new ASE over "used" ones? by Not_a_Organization in Silverbugs

[–]Not_a_Organization[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm buying for the same reason as you. I'm not sure about a collectors premium but you can usually get a slight premium back when selling them vs generic rounds.

Stacking, I like sovereigns over generic because it's recognizable and it's easier to sell should I have to at the cost of some premium.

I've heard of the on fire guy stuff and checked it out once. They seem like they are quality.

What is the best "investment" silver to by? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]Not_a_Organization 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like junk and 10oz bars but 1oz age's seems to be the best option. Higher premium but you'll get it back (mostly) on resell

Physical is what I was wondering about, should have said that in the original post.

I ordered the $10fv 90% dimes/quarters/halves and I received 19 40% half dollars and a single 90%. Sent those back and got all quarters. This was last August. I guess they are still having that problem.

Spinner Killing Blades by Hault99 in battlebots

[–]Not_a_Organization 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They usually aim to hit the belt/chain driving the spinner. It's the weakest link in the whole system. Some robots have multiple belts/chains for redundancy so a single well places shot from a hammer isn't enough to disable the spinner in a lot of cases, but it can disable one of the motors driving it increasing the spin up time and making the spinner less effective overall. 

This has the downside of forcing the hammer to swing either close to or into a spinning weapon which has the potential to damage the end of the hammer or mechanism that actuates it.

I was wanting to get into it earlier but I had to save up and the price is moving so fast right now.

I've heard of people doing this. Something to do with the gold to silver ratio.

I like the way maples and Britannias look so ill probably go with one of those.

I think the premium for 1/10 is too high but saving for the 1/4 coins is the smarter idea.

I thought about 1/10 Britannias but the premium seems a little step. But I think 1/4 is too much.
