* Requires modifying the original plastic armor, or buy a pre-cut set here: Vertical Spinner Top Armor / Front UHMW Armor

Specifications:
Weight: 124grams (4.37oz) - added to the base kit, the total weight is 419g (14.78oz) with a 2S 300mAh lipoly, or 426g (15.03oz) with a 3S 300mAh lipoly.
Drum diameter: 61.5mm (2.42in) tooth-to-tooth
Voltage: 7.4V - 11.1V. The 7.4V battery optional with the Viper base kit works great, but a 3S lipoly will give your weapon extra oomph! We don't recommend running this off a 9V battery, as it cannot supply the current needed for fast and repeated spin-ups.

Requires:
- Weapon Safety Lock
- Phillips screwdriver #2
- Threadlock liquid
- Electrical tape, zipties, or cable-ties

Safety:
- As with anything related to combat robots, it is potentially dangerous to add a spinning weapon to a robot. Never power up the robot outside of a safety enclosure. Always use a safety lock and follow proper activation procedure. Visit our Safety Information page for more information.

Good Beginner Vertical Spinner
- 01st July 2026
Our experience having run this weapon system at two different events. The weapon is easy to fix and install. Prone to jamming usually caused by the mounts or the spinner moving sideways on the motors drum. Our fix has been to add shoe glue to the drum before tightening the weapon down. We also had some issues with the front armor becoming warped and jamming the weapon. Since then we have upgraded to G10 and that issue has went away.

Super easy to install, this little drum spinner attachment is truly formidable. Installation took only about an hour, even though I was taking my time with it, so it's great for beginners trying to figure out how to add weapons' systems to their bot(s).
