How come no-one ever noticed these until now?? They should have been noticed years ago since components folder has been modified more than alot in the past.
I think they shouldnt be considered as stock but as special parts that can be enabled for use in tournament rules if someone wants them to be used.

I am also quite surprised.

I saw these gmf's, especially the second redbird, but did not really bothered about it.

The Beta redbird is slower than a RAD and can't be attach to a baseplate anchor.
Anyway, I just released a CFZ with them in it.

Since the 140 cm extender only has half of a collision mesh, if it is to be legal, it should be the 35 kg it comes as. Balance the invulnerability with lots of weight.

Really felt like building something intricate. Had an idea for a popup built off some snappers, and went ahead and did it. Took forever, much planning, and many snapper loads. When I finally finished... it was 770.3. It had two black batts. I had planned for 3. FFUUUUU-
So anyways, don't feel like rebuilding it quite yet just to shave off .4 kgs of weight on the chassis. Thought I'd show the awesomeness xD

4 DDTs with 3 razors on each, DDT wedges, 3 blacks, 799.9 6 ramplates, 4hpz drive. DSA.

That usually doesn't happen for Snapper II and DDT wedges. Snapper2 wedges are prone to this.

It seems that if the wedges are on the snapper2's they wobble around a lot and kill the wedge.

One of the wedges seems to be too high up.

It looks cool, how are the wedges? Anytime I try to make something like this I just get a bunch of AGOD.

Yea it was like 1 AM when I finished it... I don't blame myself for not getting the wedges right xD

Still has some problems (doesn't drive straight, for one) so I can't test the wedges and stuff.
One thing I really like about this design is that the chassis isn't wedged, so HS can't hit the chassis unless all the ramplates are gone :D
