was it 4 or 3 razors each?

or 36HS challenge. But that might be too difficult at this stage in building.

Here's how to get 4:

DDT -> extender straight out with attachment points (APs, for short) facing one side (1 RAZOR) -> extender out from the outermost side AP (2 RAZORS) + using the side AP of this extender, attach it to the remaining side AP of your main extender (1 RAZOR)




And stacking batteries is a bit frustrating at the start, but you'll get used to the time-consuming activity once you use it a lot. XD

okay so i had a somewhat fail attempt at making a pop up.. my question is should i keep it the way it is in the first picture without the 4 zteks, cause its kind of hard to control with them.

(Image removed from quote.)

or keep the 4 zteks

(Image removed from quote.)

my other question is should i just take some stuff out to make room,take it down to a middle weight, or just rebuild the whole chasis. or is there anything you guys recommend i put in it to build to the max weight. thanks in advance!


do you mean 4 razors like this? its 2 extenders side by side, then another extender straight out. with 2 on it.

It doesn't need it. A VS only really needs 2 because they become un-stable otherwise.

Anyway, that reminds me of Heaven's Windmill. :P

Now some advice. What's going on with the funkeee extender setup? If you try to become efficient with extenders, you will become a top builder fast. Also, look at some other showcases like Scrap Daddy's, Sage's, Pwnator's, mine and several others.

Finally, welcome! :P

No, it doesn't. It still depends on how you want a VS to concentrate on. 2WD is fine if you just want it to hit very hard. 4WD if you want that gut-ripping power.

Then you should add more weapons.

WRONG. Don't give advice when you can't build yourself.

It would be better to put the weapon motors on one blue snapper than two green snappers if you want them bursted.

the first time i built it, i used blue snapper II's, but when i would turn on the spinners the snapper wasnt powerful enough to hold it, so it would just bounce back and forth, so i just went with green snappers.

New bot time.

Fatal Emergency...





DSA,4 Razors on each DDT, Back Drive is on a snapper II. 2 blacks.

After looking at some showcases i found out you can put zteks on the back of snapper II's....fail

Double post woo!

the last bot for now, Inception 2

The reason for the weird Body design was because i was going for somewhat same kind of body as RPB, but after halfway through finishing the bot, i realised i didn't have any room for the batteries, and it was somewhat uncontrollable, so i just took out the back wheel drive and replaced it with 2 blacks. The wedges are pretty good, they can get under neglected waterbug fairly easy.


DSA, 2blacks, 8 spikes on each disk, Wedges with blades for protection on DDT's, and front plows on green snappers, and top plow on blue snapper.
