It's not the amount of extenders, its how you use them and how they look. I agree, it looks messy. Those razors are in an awkward position.
Its a TRUE popup

I think it would work better if the extenders were a bit further forward.

No, you can see where the razors intersect the ramplates on the pic, they are fine.

Right, and I'm saying the DDTs are too far back to make a CLEAN true popup setup, resulting in awkward razors.

The dtts are so far back due to the rule of seven

Yes, but it has a vs and a flamethrower!
Come on, it would indoubtably suck with flamethrowers on the vs's

Nice clean setup, but all the weights in the back, thus the wedge problem.. You would either need a stabilizer in the back to push down the wedges up front, or try re-arranging the chassis to put the wedge DDTs on the baseplate.

Love how you used DDTs in combination with Snappers to hold the wheels in place.
1 question though.... Did you have to rebuild that a few times over? Ive tried ideas like that before, and unless you constantly garage-and-back, the design can randomly destroy itself.
I take it, you had to do just that.
