One on the left is a Psyc popup, that should tell you all you need to know about it :P
The one on the right is almost exactly the same as the one on the left, except it has only one black, a slightly elongated wedge (to allow for the baseplate anchor), and a ramplate.

Both have wedges on par with XZAI 2 & Mutiny II

How does the one with 1 battery do in the damage department?  Since it's severely underpowered and all.


I don't think sacrificing a battery for a ram plate is worth it, since the chassis corners are still exposed, which is the part that gets hit most often.

Smallen down the chassis, Snapper Load the DDT off, place the baseplate extender in the slot where the DDt's hinge used to be, and attach the ramplate there via whatever means. If that's allready done, I'd recommend losing razors instead of a battery.

what is this i dont even



You are SEVERELY underestimating the size of baseplate anchors if you think one will fit in the hinge slot in a DDT.  And obviously know nothing about how collision mesh works.  Also, explain how that chassis can be made any smaller, much less get 20 kgs out of it.


Trading razors for a ramplate instead of a battery is better advice (at least it's POSSIBLE), but I still wouldn't do it.  You would need to downgrade to 4 razors and the corners of the chassis would still be exposed.

2 Blacks, 4 HPZ+ Rubbers, DSA, DDT Wedges

Wedges aren't quite as good as the original, but it still gets under NWB with ease :D

No, for some reason this didn't come up when I clicked show unread replies  :confused:
Anyway, it looks awesome, but aren't those two disks too far apart?

i would just remove the extenders and attach all the irons directly to the discs. also try to get the ramplates to cover the edges more.
