That sure is a penis

Which meta are you aiming for? DSL-S or DSL-IRL? It doesn't really look powerful enough for either atm, but knowing what you're after will help us shape our advice.

now that you mention it, I think I was subconciously going for a more IRL design. it's a bit crap now, I admit but maybe with some help that can be fixed?

My main concern are the big, exposed sides. The IRL LW meta is crammed with overhead spinners, and while a full-force ram from something like this would definitely de-stabilise them, if you miss then you're gonna get an almighty whack right on your chassis. So I'd say shrink the chassis down, swap the ant batteries for a single red or black battery, and use the spare weight to increase your chassis armour.

Big dick meta is great. You gotta face that people. IF ITS PINK TOO I SWEAR TO GOD

Wheels being exposed, isnt the best thing, but im sure it will be easily covered

oh and here's the external view for those curious. I thought I could try and make white look somewhat good?

Again, this looks extremely DSL-S. Razors look terrible so nobody uses them in IRL

it's DSL-S then. I was more trying to make something that'd be decent in combat than something that's aesthetically pleasing. if the disc can get a good bite then it performs rather well.

that was more talking about the previous lightweight design, which was about as dangerous an an angry gerbil

I am feeling a strong 2011 meta right now. I dig it.
I do those awful YouTube videos.

What year would you pin it at? (If possible, I don't know much about the evolution of the meta)

And the latest creation, metalhead. those wedges actually do something, the idea being to get under, and push an opponent around while cutting them up. took some experimentation with hinges to get right.
