good.

if you can do it well.
the new scorpion isn't that efective, but maybe if you use a setup like jack orr's feather weight, pure evil i may be better
That's alright to here- I mainly based the idea of one, along with a bladed tip that could do actual damage on Mortis, one of the old greats.

And Mike...what do you think of the kits?

They look pretty solid. If I remember correctly, at least some versions of the MW/HW flipper Sub Zero used the battlekit as the base, as well as the lightweight Sabertooth. They're a decent setup as long as you've got a good weapon to put on them.

Well, I think that's quite handy reference, seeing as how it's approved by one of GTM's own builders. I plan to build an axe/flipper arm combination on top of it, in order to provide strong attacking power, backed up by speed and reliability. Would this be possible?

That looks nothing like you...

remember a battlekit is designed for a VERY different style of combat, i.e. american rather than british.
also cost:
kit £600
postage- a lot
when customs open it to see if it is a consignment of hard drugs and charge you for it- a lot
changing the radio gear- £100
need a spare part quickly? -4 weeks
also remember that it has low ground clearance, after 1 fight with thor the floor will NOT be flat

found a nice bit of 6mm polycarbonate for the top of my featherweight

cleaned both the sides of metanioa and i am pleased with the result, one of the front panals is missing and i am finding it hard to find some more 10mm red hdpe, if anybody can help please do

Loving the classic design so far, but I think you are overthinking when it comes to the side shrimechs. You should just make it angular or curved so you don't require mechanics of self right.

I can send you some cake dB

sloped sides would be good, but that would mean re-welding most of the frame and my welding skills arn't that great

what kind of cake?????
