I'm confused at how you weren't able to fit many weapons on, but try downgrading to plastic armor, removing a couple of ants (you only need about 3), and shortening the shell/chassis, and see if you can get more weapons on then.

Is that a one-wheeled Sheck Spinner?

I would up your weapon motor to at least a mag (as King Mushroom said). This bot MUST be underweight, so add in more weapons. Your flails are not mounted very effectively. Mount them so your weapon sticks straight out instead of at a right angle. Also, swap your small DSL teeth for razors. I am also willing to bet your shell spinner is taller than it needs to be. Make sure the chassis is as short as possible.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Partially. You should turn your flails so that they move left and right, not up and down. Otherwise, you've got the general idea of flails.

^that^
Also, lower the chasis right down, you'll be able to get everything in there still, if you lay the control board down flat.
To save more weight, you can delete the side panels that have no weapons attatched to them as ATM it's just wasted weight.

and start taking off one side of the spinner for pics, I can barley see the insides. But you've made an improvment. (pro tip: try a popup)

Not bad. But I would still recommended you change your flail attachment so that the weapon point straight out and not to the side.

Way to crop: Crop the silver area where you can see your bot, and then extend the area down so we can see the weight. Then tell us its armor and what you see as problems with it. Then we can help you more.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time
