Although I don't think they'd fit with that setup, it doesn't look like there's enough space.

honestly, id put the nifty behind the piston and tanks, stack the control board in the nifty, get as big of a piston as possible, upgrade the teks and use shinies. Once you do that it should be a solid poker because your setup is pretty good on the weapons.

Nice to see a new comer with the right ideas.

Keep trying with the stack, it'll work eventually. Apparently movepixel helps, but it seems to hinder me.

On the contrary movepixel helped me do one of the only stacks i've ever done in stock. And I am crap at stacking.

Basically if you can never stack then give movepixel a go.

yeah, try arranging your components better. It's always better to know exactly what you want before you build the chassis, that way you can build it around components and have much less unused space.

Nice dude! Your improvements are great.

Sometimes when I adjust the chassis slider to its lowest point the actual height of the chassis will vary.  (if that makes any sense)

What I am saying is that you can actually make your chassis a bit lower if you move the slider to the bottom and eyeball the height of the chassis.  You will notice that sometimes it will go lower than expected.  When I am trying to make a chassis that allows for invertability with shiny wheels, I will play around with the slider several times until I hit a sweet spot that is low enough for shiny wheels yet high enough to fit stuff like HPZs and black batteries.   

Give it a shot.

5 or 6 ticks up from minimum normally fits HPs. One of the two xD

As far as the frontal weapon goes, he can actually fit more Razors on it, really...

he should have used maces for this(moar damage)

anyways, you should put the nifty in between the HPz, and put the pistons and the air tanks like this: 1st air tank ---> pistons ---> 2nd air tank.
and, if you felt the chassis is too large, you should make the chassis like this:
                                                ___
                                                /   \
                                               /     \
                                              /       \
                                             _______

And, if you can piston effe, you can try putting a snowplow to hide the extenders better.

Can't fit them in because i still fail at stacking, with or without movepixel.

I can effe, but I don't understand how this could get a snowplow on (probably cause I had an extra dose of noobishness and started messing around with total fail bots today).


EDIT due to not double posting

Just wanted to share a generic rammer I've been working on.

A black should be good for 4 z-teks. And you should use axes for rammers and possibly pokers.

you should probably get 6wd and a black in there to accommodate the extra 2 wheels

and improvement is being show, keep this up
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Okay.... so first off, you need to get 6wd HPzs and a black. and then you can use axes(cause they have more concussion= more damage on rammers).
