FingerTech 'Viper' T-Spin UHMW Motor Guard

• Replacement UHMW Motor Guard for the Viper Tail Spinner Add-On.

• Is your Tail Spinner's armor getting a bit chewed up? Going to an event and needing spares? Grab a couple of these and you're good to go!

FingerTech 'Viper' T-Spin UHMW Tail Arm

• Replacement UHMW Tail Arm for the Viper Tail Spinner Add-On.

FingerTech 3.5inch x 3mm Asymmetric Titanium Disc

• This asymmetric Gr5 titanium weapon bar is ideal for custom vertical spinners. Use single, or stack two or more for a wider bite!
• Includes a 4-hole screw pattern that can be used with the Blade Mount or with your own custom hub.
• This is the blade used in our Viper Tail Spinner Add-On.

F2822-1100KV Brushless Outrunner 4mm shaft

• We've custom-upgraded the popular F2822-1100KV Brushless Outrunner to have a 4mm thick shaft!  That's 60% more material than the 3.175mm shafts, meaning far less chance of the motor shaft breaking!
• Also now includes the 7 screws necessary to mount to the top and bottom motor faces.
• This is the motor used in the Viper Vertical and Horizontal Spinner Add-Ons (after June 2020). Its size and power make it ideal for antweight robot weapons.



F2822-2600KV Brushless Outrunner 4mm shaft

• FingerTech pioneered the hardened 4mm shaft inside a F2822 Brushless Outrunner form factor, and we're now offering that custom-upgrade in a 2600KV motor that is over double the rpm of our standard 100KV motor!
• Our custom 4mm thick shaft has 60% more material than the standard 3.175mm shafts, which has almost entirely eliminated the chances of a big hit torque-breaking the motor!
• This motor is a same-size speed boost for the Viper Vertical and Horizontal Spinner Add-Ons, and the 1lb Beater Bar weapon.
