Spent some time tonight working out the details for the Sportsman-

As shown weight is a bit under 23.5lbs, so even if the guts end up at 4lbs, I'll have plenty of margin, which is good, as the weapons are interchangeable.

Noooo single lifting spike is my thing come up with your own weapon :P

You should defiantly try something like Sewer Snakes lifter since you've got the weight for it. That would be a cool sportsman weapon.

Certainly would be possible, just have to figure out the finer details.

Edit: Got something worked out, current attachments are the one shown, a proper ramming spike, and the sewer snake style flipper.

Looks interesting.

That attachment shown very much reminds me of an RA2 Spike Strip (':

Looks sweet anyway. You could always include some kind of pushing wedge (a la Tornado) as an interchangable weapon if you needed/wanted. I dunno, just thinking of ideas XD

Looks very good mate.

I'm really liking the look of it so far- once it's finished, it should be a force to be reckoned with. Although about the weapon- by the looks of things, it appears to be a crusher on a long arm- will it lift up and down as well as grip, or is it purely intended as a Sergeant Bash-style crusher?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #654 on:** August 13, 2011, 08:45:26 PM »

The intent is clamp and flip

russian roulette · « **Reply #655 on:** August 13, 2011, 09:13:43 PM »

If done right, this should be a complete VS Killer

powerrave · « **Reply #656 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:49:35 AM »

Looks awesome!

Thought so- I've always liked the idea of something that could both clamp and lift opponents- a bit like Draven/Anthrax and Storm from RW.

NFX · « **Reply #658 on:** August 14, 2011, 10:43:18 AM »

Looks very nice indeed. Should be excellent once it's finished.

Made some modifications to Kobalos-

It's a blast to drive with the 11:1 sparks in it.

One mod isn't visible, I have abec-5 bearings in the frame rails to help support the spark shaft.
