Specifications Material: Grade 5 (6AL-4V) Titanium Length: 5.5in (13.97cm) tip-to-tip Blade Thickness: 0.118in (3.0mm) Bore: 0.394in (10.0mm) Screw hole pattern: 0.75-1.0in (19.05-25.4mm) between 6-32 screws (matches FingerTech Blade Hub) Weight: 1.87oz (53g). This Viper 5.5″ titanium blade is a full 15g less than our 6″ blade. We now have three titanium blades in our weapons suite: The large 6″ blade, a smaller, lighter Viper 5.5″ titanium blade, and the asymmetrical vertical spinner blade. Our blades have very high strength-to-weight ratios, and their size gives them a rapid tip speed. That means that they can generate a surprising amount of kinetic energy. We’ve seen these blades literally fling their opponent across the ring. Weapons choices can be a critical determiner between winning and losing, especially for a less experienced driver. A strong weapons choice like our titaniums can make a major difference in the arena, and give any spectators the exciting match that they deserve. “I have used this on my 1 lb bot for 3 years now and it has chewed through many tires in that time. Spins fast and hits hard.”
