8 razors is fine for a DDT, but it MUST be fully powered then.

2 is technically enough, but they will drain quite fast. 3 is fine.

Well, that's it then. Get another black in, tighten the chassis, remove the useless Baseplate extender, and maybe guard the wedges with blades.

That's all I can think of. Anyone else got any ideas?

Tightening the chassis gave me another 5kg... any tightening I can do around the front?

Now...a compromise. Do I put in the extra battery for longer matches, or do I put extra frontal armour on instead?

I'd recommend the battery.

more armor, since 8 razors on each ddt will cause matches to end quick anyway.

My advice is the same as the advice that you have been given so, I won't bother posting it. :P

I'll get on it when I can be bothered to go back to stock again xD

Anyways, my most likely BTTB entry. Stealth Destroyer (Insert name here)



DSA, 1 Black, 6 sledges, 4 25cm casters, etc.

My main problem is that the sledges don't last very long xD HS food, of course.

looks pretty good actually except for the fact as soon as you lose one of those weak long extenders, you're going to be flopping all over the arena. making it not rely on those weak wedges for support might be a good idea.

Is that not bouncy as heck? SD's also right about the extenders being very weak. Maybe protecting them with a blade of some description might help a little bit.

Forgive my bad cropping/resizing D:

But this may be the final version. Only changes are the blades on the wedges, shinies and snowploughs.

Now, to AI it. Time for its effectiveness to disappear.. :P

Well, it does still have the mad extender work at the back, but i guess you can't really do that much about that, and it certainly looks impressive.
One thing though that I thi...Is that a racoon?
RACOON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

You know I have a tendency to put random pictures in to fill the empty space xD

And yes, it is a raccoon.

OT: I dunno how to un-madify the extender work at the back, any suggestions would be loved for all eternity xD

I don't know TBH mr flibble, apart from perhaps making a bigger chassis.
Or you could try and protect them more by moving the snowplows further out from each other, which is probably the much easier, but less effective way.
