I don't build realistically

Sorry, but DSL is realistic. Come back when it isn't A.K.A when GTM throws it's reputation out of the window.
If you don't like realism keep to stock.

And DSL WILL stay realistic, at least a minimum.

Guys, lay it off, will you? He's tried installing DSL 2.0 and 2.1, and they crashed his game. The only way it works with DSL components is in Stock.

And by the way, what is so bad about being unrealistic? RA2 isn't reality. It's a game. And GTM shouldn't lose it's good reputation just because somebody was using their imagination. What are you going to do, sue yourself? Preytor_4 builds good bots. Give him some rest.
Has he tired it form Sage's Sig. That version is n00b proof.

You need additional stabilizers; the setup you have now is unreliable since it's too short and it can sink into the floor.  I find that using DSL bars or skirts on a baseplate-mounted halfsheet works very well.

Alternatively you can ditch the wedge setup and use a balance bar system much like the one you have at the rear (it looks unnecessarily heavy BTW), but it's your choice.

Apart from stability, it has too many batteries; you can get away with 4-6 ant batteries.  Try to find other ways to build up to the weight limit (upgrading the armor and maybe the weapon motors would be a start).

Well, Ounce covered it, except the 1030 KG thing. Were you using antiballast or was that your game glitching?

Unfortunately now it's overweight (weight limit for SHWs is 1200 kgs, unless you want to build an UHW, which is 5000 kgs).  Replace the 3 PC545s with 4 ant batteries, and shrink the chassis.

Other than that, good.

It isn't underpowered. 4 is the smallest amount to keep it propely powered though. 6 would be better.

Go on then, and then we'll see how it measures up to Immunization.

It also looks like you need to reverse the direction of the spinners. They should hit the bot while swinging upwards for the greatest effectiveness (Usually, there are a few special cases).

If the chasis is smaller he can gain weight and use it in better drive NPCF or NPC.

I would say try to minimize the empty space (gives your opponent less to hit and makes it easier to doge attacks) and yes try NPC's for drive's you'l get more speed.

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.
