did some testing on how equal the current teeth limits are
for reference, the test bot has double strength steel 10 as i didn't want fights lasting 15 seconds, motors are two perms.
as always, this isn't a 100% realistic representation. your results may vary based on your motor choice, weapon setup, total spinning mass, if you've installed the AS' """"balance"""" patch, and if you're TOXIC like hoppin
here's the full results. this is TTK and not points btw

conclusion: i think 4 large/6 small is fairly balanced as 4 larges have more total hp, but 6 smalls have maybe up to around 10% higher dps. 8 smalls would definitely be pushing it.
8 beaters still doesn't match the damage output of typhoons even when patched. that being said i don't think they're a completely non-viable choice. 8 beaters have 20000 hp vs the 16000/12000 of typhoons, and from my testing are pretty effective at de-weaponing them (assuming you don't lose your disk/drum setup). also most hosts will probably let you spam more than 8 since they aren't toxic typhoons and that's all people really care about tbh
micros should probably be regulated on the same level as 4 larges/6 smalls. they are technically less dps, but the difference is very small and each disk only weighs 35kgs while also having 7000 hp. they did have a tendency to jam due to my test cage and their large size, but i don't think the impact is that severe on the results, and i don't think that theyd be faster than 6 smalls
idk what's going on with ripping teeth. i know my disk setup probably isn't optimal but still, they have a really sh** collsion mesh/normals
there's a few other components that might be worth checking (the heavy ds tooth, minion disk, cutting teeth
thanks for listening to my ted talk. btw kix sucks at csgo
