that makes total sense. the plastic is not as thick as the regular spinners. thats the only difference noticable when comparing the 2, both are indentical in shape for the cone. you cant tell the backplates apart from one another. screws are the same for both. only difference is the one is thin plastic on the e-spinner and the standard nitro spinner is about twice as thick.

thanks very much for such a fast response to my question. im going to have to wait for the one i ordered or get out the chicken stick and put the elec starter away for now.
