My try at a vert disk spinner 789kg HW using dsl disks with cutting teeth using 2 npc fast for drive and an e-tech double axle for the disks. it also has a front hinge flipper for self righting, its uses ant batteries for power.

I see you have an affinity for hexplates. You could manipulate them and get a cleaner and more rounded shape.

So my newest HW (785KG) using a storm front hinge for the weapon, 2 npc fast for drive, 10mm aluminum armor and 2 wp863e and 5 ant batteries. it uses steal plates for front armor and wedges and 2 spiked extenders for back supports. It can take 1 hell of a beating does good damage but can be difficult to control.

You could probably get rid of those ant batts they kinda suck in 2.2 and use it on making it look a bit cooler is it's a bit of a box at the moment. That's assuming you're using 2.2 of course.
Also I think learning to skin so you can use some unique decals would also help you as a builder

unfortunately the box is only way i could fit everything in even then was pretty close and the ants were as those were the only ones i could fit tbh as amount the hammer swings it uses a hell of a lot of power i could reduce a few of the ants and im thinking of adding a tail instead of the back support spikes kinda making it into a flail for the extra damage points. im focusing on more learning the DSL 2.2 building process but skinning is next one the list as it seems to be reasonable simple export>edit>import

This is FlowerPower a 760kg full spinner it uses mag motors for drive and a dual perm to spin a DSL disk with extenders attached for cutting teeth to mount to angled to allow full body coverage. it uses 4 ant batteries due to space limitations but its enough to power the drive and disk for full 3mins.

I like Flower Power and the hammer with the Cobra wheels.  Such an oddball design.  I just might try stealing it...

Very nice, the armour panels are something you've done spectacularly. I'd try to get the pivot point on the arm higher, this would mean you don't have to build it outwards so much.

Keep it up my man.

Thanks it took me a while to try get them lined up and i might try that as i just tried cut weight on it by removing wedglets and adding a solid panal gained around 10KG so might try fit a front hinge for arm instead of a piston
