I'm attempting to make a spinner bot of some kind. Right now I am using the duel perm 132 gear box. I added the son of whyatchi spin blade with three dsl#4 hammer. But this doesn't even stand up to Grog the Vengeful. Any other suggestion for a good motor for a spinner? Or any other suggestions?

That's the best non-cheatbot motor you can get. It might be the way you're using it on the bot that's causing a downfall - I know for sure I can take Grog very easily using a DSL bar on a dual perm with 2 70kg hammers. Feel free to upload a pic of it and put it here or start a showcase :P

yep youre probably not using a powerful enough motor for 210 kg of weaponry, try a dual perm or use less weapons because a motor can only spin so much

is there any way to take a picture of it while in game?

Press F11, then it'll go into the 'screenshots' folder of your RA2 directory - then, open it up, save it as a png (bmps are too big) and upload it here! :D

I'm still open to ideas. It doesn't have a paint job because its not finished. The hammers on the end usually break off against grog. I have two of the big big batteries and it does about 0-60 in a year but its ok lol. Is there any better way to make it faster? Or hit harder? Maybe these hammers on the end aren't the best. They are the dsl hammer #4.

Why not open up a DSL showcase? It'll be the best way to gather advice.
BUT, here's some generic advice. Do not use Piglets as drive motors, you need NPC's or NPC Fasts on this, maybe with gripper wheels like Vlads or Hypnos.
You don't need to use the big batteries - any spin motor can be powered sufficiently by it's own ant battery - so this needs 3 ant batteries, maybe 4. This may help it.
Also, you could free up a lot of weight by making the chassis a lot shorter.
