Only Longbow is gonna get in there, and even then I don't think it would be a sure OHKO.


I think the Havoking is a bigger issue.  Trade the HP drive for regular Z-teks and upgrade to all iron spikes?

Kinda reminds me of Box of Grime with a VS instead of a slanted HS...  I bet you could get DSA on there.

Ideas on weight improvement:

Use 2 sideways baseplate anchors instead of 1 anchor and a T connector.
Instead of an angler use a 20 cm rotated on top of another 20 cm.
Attach the drive motors directly to the main extender (i don't know if the game will allow this, though...)

A complex spinner set up on a snapper. DSA, castor armor, 18 irons, and 2 blacks. I'm currently trying to stack a third black in to use up the extra weight.

You don't want a third black in there, you want some better drive. Just make the chassis bigger and put some HPz in there.

Get better before you give advice is the rule of thumb.

What I said still stands. Really Sparks, I'm not trying to be mean, but some of your advice is a bit...faulty.
