It all started out with Stock Components. There's a really good Dreadnought replica pretty early on with only Stock components. But because of DSL's wider variety of components, there's a much wider variety of bots able to be built. I doubt I could have put together a Dead Metal replica as good as I did if I'd used Stock.

Malc 1.5
Sadly I could only put on 3 spikes, because the chassis would have been too big otherwise.
Also, this thing is stupid fast.

I`d use other wheels, Antspikes from NarAI, and turn the hypnotooth 180°

ty4er · « **Reply #3845 on:** April 01, 2012, 02:40:13 PM »

try tornado wheels and rotate the hypno spike as thyrus said.

maybe put the spikes on a poly extender on a me?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #3846 on:** April 01, 2012, 02:40:21 PM »

Yeah I'd use either tornado wheels or vlad wheels

also Conraaa is now your best friend.

Thyrus · « **Reply #3847 on:** April 01, 2012, 02:42:39 PM »

and you may use other motors than NPCs. Spikes on the polyextender should work as ty4er suggested

edit: fixed it

Demolisher. It took a while to get this shape right. It flips over rather easily.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #3850 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:18:09 PM »

No front lip? Nice chassis if anything. Also, is it as fast as the real thing was?

NFX · « **Reply #3851 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:25:29 PM »

It didn't always have the front lip on. But it flips over, just like the real thing. Bonus points for that. =D

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #3852 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:26:47 PM »

The front lip was just a sharp-edge guard, not actually used in combat. It is close to as fast as the real one, it's impossible to put car steering on something that small, but it's still more than fast enough to flip itself when it crashes.

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #3853 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:29:34 PM »

I bet that thing is fast ... what motors does it use?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #3854 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:31:28 PM »

probably custom motors.

What you could do is wire both motors on one side to go forwards, and only one on the other side to go forwards to make it go in either direction. The downside is you'd need a seperate pair of controls for steering while reversing.

Sweet. I love how you rendered the angular chassis.

Coffin-Bot.
A substitute bot in Extreme Warriors, lost in round one.
Didn't quite get the woody texture and it's pretty small, but I haven't found anything else wrong with it so far.
That's where you guys come in!

Badnik96 · « **Reply #3858 on:** April 07, 2012, 02:53:28 PM »

I'd make it a little longer. Besides that, it looks pretty good.

Tweedy · « **Reply #3859 on:** April 07, 2012, 03:07:31 PM »

I'd make the bit above and below the disc a bit narrower as well
