How would the sides look if you use the skirtextenders?


Now that's a good idea.


Anyway, I'm gonna guess those things sticking out from the sides are small wedges?

I think so too. If this would be the chassis it would look different.

Thanks everyone, to answer some questions:

I pulled the NPC's into the body a little so that there'd be a visible gap between the extenders and the wheels.  It does look better this way, I experimented with it

Skirt extenders, I've thought about it, but the small wedges were easier to work with; I could mount them at a 90-degree angle to get that nice slant.  I had considered mounting skirt extenders on a burst, but space is just too tight; I'm using a superflat chassis, and as it is, I can only fit 3 of those skinny black batteries

Hmm....

(Assuming this is meant to be nightmare)

Use smaller wheel, rad's, bigger disk.
Could do with better skinning.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

what's awsome about this, is not only is he servo boosted, but the extender and servo look like a motor and chain.

Aces and Eights


I know Scrap Daddy did this one too, but I wanted to see if I could do anything about the "too squareness" he had talked about, so I built my own from scratch.

Did you see that the side of Vladiator looks similar to the back of this one?

Servo boosting is when you use a servo as a spinner i.e. Gyratory Revolt. Not when you use it to attach motors.

servo enhanced is the word he is looking for


servo boosting is a glitch that allows servos to spin at very fast speeds..
