Added some side panels to buffer HS/SnS atatcks from side a bit more, and to eat up some weight.

Define 'looks'.

If you mean how it'll do in battle, I have to agree with you. But I like it and it's not that bad.

Efficiency wise

But yeah, it does look cool (Not as cool as my new antweight, but, IRL always beats RA2 :P)

It looks excellent. But I'd be worried about that side panel taking hits from VS.

See? Small JXs are better for MW flippers :P

Couldn't you attatch your motors normally, cause NPC Fasts are gonna fall off quickly...
Or are they normals?

Just no...
No-one said they were better, they are less powerful.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Power isn't everything, from my experience, the sacrafice to get large JX'sis just too much

One of the most improtant things for a flipper is stability, which decreases as you get more power

That's why I've just made the conversion. Small JX's are perfectly capable of dispatching HW's.

I don'tdeny that stats are better, but my 4-bsg flippers get beaten by my small JX flippers almost every time
