V-Spooler X Ballast Mod

🟩 🟦 🟦 🟪 🟥 🟧 🟨

This is a ballast mod for V-Spooler X. There are various reasons why you may be interested in this mod:

• V-Spooler X is a bit top-heavy before you do your re-spooling. This lowers the center of gravity.

• More stable

• Potentially quieter, as the mass should hopefully reduce any vibration

The ballast mod is essentially a little box that attaches under V-Spooler that you fill with concrete (or whatever) to add weight to. There are a couple of versions available initially:

• Smaller (lighter) and larger (heavier) versions

• Variants for the current V-Spooler X and motor mod

The normal V-Spooler X version requires the following components to build:

• 12x M3 inserts

• 12x M3x8 screws and washers

• Ready mix concrete

The motor mod version requires the following parts:

• 20x M3 inserts

• 20x M3x8 screws and washers

• Ready mix concrete

If you are building the motor mod version you will need a hex wrench or driver that can go deep enough to connect the part that goes under the motor mod to the part that connects to the main body.

Instructions will come shortly!
