rotate your z-teks's a little more inwards

I know what your trying to achieve with that setup but all its really doing is putting the extenders in a convenient position for your opponents..

Yeah, for me this design is kinda sacrificing combat efficiency for originality.

What VB said, though it might also be better if you swapped the positions of the motors (HSes might get lucky at the motors).

Wedge-y looks very compact. I like. Barricade is cool too.

Wedge-y looks very, very clean. I like it. Barricade seems better with a wider, double-rack setup. You could angle the lower rack downward, and push the upper anchor a bit inward so all of the weapons hit simultaneously.

That wouldn't benefit it when upside down though?

Damn, Vertigo. I had no idea that you built so well in stock. I wish I were that good.

It's pretty much the same thing, as both racks still hit simultaneously. What I meant was removing your current lowest rack and angling the middle rack a notch or two downwards, and push the top rack inward a little, then add the rest of the weapons. That at least makes it more annoying against side hammers and wide HSes.

Looks pretty good, I think, if a tad slow (RAD Drive?). You could try using both attachment points on the SnapperII to lighten your extender work, if it would.

Ah, right. I couldn't see the back. =D

I'm just wondering if you used T connectors.

Yeah, I have used a T connector

I'll see if someone can guess the setup, as simple as it is :D

have you tried it AI vs AI? more people should make RA2 vids in their showcase :) also try and upload at least 480 vids to youtube. all you need to do is import your vid to windows movie maker and when you can select to quality it saves the video as, as long as you use Fraps to record.
