Add more razors, use rubber wheels, and put blades on the extenders connecting to the wedge to protect them. A the wedge should be less steep, too.

A lot better but still room for some improvements.

1. Replace hub wheels with rubber wheels.
2. Wedge needs to be a lot less steep.
3. Stack another black battery in one of those; two if you have the weight. It honestly takes like 20 seconds
4. Protect the chassis front with ramplates.
5. Weird setup for the weapons. Change that to the standard way.
6. Longer wedges. If you want, you can move the snappers as far back as possible so that you don't feel like it sticks out so much.

1. Replace hub wheels with rubber wheels. will do
2. Wedge needs to be a lot less steep. it's shallower than it looks :P
3. Stack another black battery in one of those. It honestly takes like 20 seconds I don't like stacking batts in batts, i think it's cheap
4. Protect the chassis front with ramplates. I don't know If I can
5. Weird setup for the weapons. Change that to the standard way. it is standard.
6. Longer wedges. If you want, you can move the snappers as far back as possible so that you don't feel like it sticks out so much.

If you do not start changing your images to .jpg or .png or even .gif then they will be removed! .Bmp takes far too long to load on some connections.


For once the mods did something right

If you want spinners to be invertible (or if not then at least have one wheel on the ground to flail around and not time out), then you should flip the weapon motor. Also, Swap those batteries for one nifty, and downgrade drive to RADS. There looks like there's some space in there too.
