uh, i just made this lightweight. it sort of takes off like a jet when i go full throttle and fire the wedges. it goes up, flipping repeatedly and bouncing off the roof.

anything i can do about it?

the moters are too fast and the burst moter axles go out of its sockets to do the "mega jump" when you run into a wall sometimes (mostly with hinged skirts)

no, i don't run into the walls, i just go in a straight line and fire the wedges.

then the burst moters are too powerful

huh. they're the least powerful in the game, yet they are too powerful.
weird.

@Russian Roulette: Just STFU... I've seen you giving irrelevant advice to builders that are five times better than you.

Get out.

@Hydro: Apart from the fact that it is awfully underpowered, it's pretty nice.

I'll recommend using an aluminium extender rather than a T connector and adding another ant battery. Among other things.

Technically you'd need 3 battlepacks for this, but i don't think they can be fitted on a design like that, so try to aim for 2 battlepacks and 1 ant battery.

EDIT: and you could just use metal sheets rather than small wedges.

russian roulette said nothing wrong (except misspell MOTOR again) because that is a weird glitch. I would restart the game and see if it quits doing that.

Hydro · « **Reply #9 on:** April 29, 2009, 07:16:42 AM »

ok, i'll try these and see if they work!

Edit: ok, i replaced the wedges with 120cm titanium skirts (to save 3 kg) and the t-connector with a polycarbonate extender. i also replaced the aluminum extenders (that the wedges were on) with polycarbonate ones. i also added 2 ant batteries with the extra weight allowange (for lightweights). this seems to have worked, cause it dont take off like a fricken' 747 anymore. thanks, people!

^^ Unfunny grammar nazi.

Hydro, 120cm sheets is probably overkill. 80cm's or even 40cm's would be fine IMO.

And i'm sure you can directly attach these titanium sheets to the burst motor... with this 80cm's would be good.

Hydro · « **Reply #12 on:** April 29, 2009, 08:44:51 AM »

hmm... ok. i'll see what i can do.
alright! looks like it'll work. i still need to combat test it, though.

this happened to me but in a different form.
My lw vs always did that when it had the skirt hing with a skirt on it. i switched to a fixed skirt and that fixed the prob. but the hinged one would of worked better.]
yay! 1 more to lw :)
