I've pretty much only done them because I've seen others do much, much worse and get away with it.

You could widen the gap between the front spikes and put the sheets in the middle if you really want to keep the sheets. I don't think that kind of setup would look bad personally.

Nah I'm happy with the setup as it is now. This is actually even wedgier than the skirt setup and looks a lot better.

Purely aesthetically, I think it would look best without sheets or spikes. But then it would be sh** in battle so it's a tradeoff. I love the martini paintjob too, great work!
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

Totally agree but yeah it absolutely sucked without them unfortunately. Props for recognising the paint scheme too! :thumbup

Yeah they've got some armour over them now to try to protect the weapon motors. Originally they were just barebones extenders

After all that I decided Speed Demon still wasn't good enough against HSes and had a bunch of other flaws too so I went back to the drawing board. This one should be all around a lot more effective. Trades 4WD for 2 but should still be fairly nippy, switches to a single perm 132 from dual perm 80s, the main benefit of which is extra torque for gutripping as the perm 80s were weedy as hell, and it also allowed me to move the motor back and out of harms way. I also added a big tanky steel wedge and a srimech to it as I wasn't satisfied with how much effectiveness it lost when inverted. I'm still not 100% sure on the visuals front though. Part of me likes how much more aggressive it looks, while another part of me misses the simplicity of the old one. Pics below:

I agree not sure if I prefer it now or not, either way it's still beautifully put together as always

Here's a new one. HW single tooth disc with 4 slimbody drive (only motors that would fit). Perm 132 for the weapon. Front pontoon wedges are all steel while most of the other plates are alu. Disc is ALMOST 100% perfectly balanced but I couldn't get it quite as good as I did on the previous STD I made which really was 100% perfect. I suspect due to the smaller diameter of the disc. Still not noticable over the natural shakiness of bots in RA2 and I 'm actually happy with how the bot came out which is more than can be said for most of the stuff I've built lately.

Here's an underweight HW. 755.something kg. Largely steel construction. Dual NPC fasts for drive and a storm burst for the flipper

Here's another. Wanted to build a proper non-overhead HS because I've never done one, but simultaneously wanted to ovid building a tombclone like the plague. This is the result. Dual TWMR2 drive and a Perm 132 with 2 large typhoon teeth for the weapon. Ended up coming out more tombclone-y than I'd hoped but I still think it's decently unique.

that looks awesome, kinda looks more like an undercutter from that angle but definitely wouldn't call it a tombclone
