This should be in DSL showcase btw.
DSL has more emphasis on wheels, not motors. Cut down to two E-Teks and Overkill/Techno wheels for more speed than the motorcycle wheels.
You only need one ant battery per motor, so cut down to four ants for more weight savings.
Cut down on the pistons. One or two with a lot of weapons save more weight than a bunch of pistons with a few weapons.
Shrink the chassis, it will help to cut down on weight and makes the meat of the bot harder to hit(Despite what everyone else says, height has no impact on HP, only the square area of the bots base plate)

I updated my bot:

R1885, I have a few big batteries because I usually prolong my fights. If I cut down to two E-teks,my bot is too slow to be as powerful as I want. But thanks for the advice!

no, one ant batt per motor will power it just fine for at least 3 minutes if not more.
just trust us on this.

omniconnectors are also a gigantic waste lf weight

Tornado spikes are very durable but don't do much damage, I'd swap them out for razor tips. Also you should get grippier wheels and less motors (overkill wheels work wonders), you should go faster.

Also, is the armor DSA? It shouldn't be, DSA is terrible armor in DSL. worse than plastic 1 even.

What is DSA? I have DSL. It's Titanium 10 armor. And i'll swap the wheels if they go over the top of my chassis, and will return to razor tips. (I had razor tips for my Stock bot, but went to DSL recently.)

After reading a bit, I figured out that DSA is the armor given if you don't choose one. I had changed DoW to Steel 5 and changed it completely.

One heck of a weight reduction, too. Tornado wheels in the front, and Overkill wheels behind. 16 razor tips and one Long2 piston. The ballast and baseplate anchor to the side opposite the air tank is to balance it out; the bot dragged to the right.

Regular E-Teks are bad for drive. get the Drive E-Teks you had before. Also, wheels on axle mounts are completely useless.

With this weight reduction, the Drive E-Teks got crazily out of control. It was overpowered. Replaced the axle mounts with a pair of casters.

I moved the Destroyer of Worlds to:
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13617.new#new (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13617.new#new)
It belongs there because it is DSL. I was told that since I have an unlimited mass mod, I need it here.
