Yes, very good.

I don't know about the drive motors though, but if you shrink the chassis and place the control board over the battery wou'll have even more weight for weaponry :P

I was thinking the same, but I don't know if he could fit in Zteks.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #183 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:40:25 PM »

I was thinking stuffing in Z-Teks, also! For a long time, he only had 6 Iron Spikes and I didn't know what to do with the leftover 10 pounds or so. I thought about using regular Z-Teks as drive motors, but I couldn't fit them in.

Eventually, I just overcame my want of symmetry and added an Iron.

Rebuild the chassis for Zteks and you should be able to pull it off, if you make it small enough. And Symetry doesn't exist in RA2, just look at Tempist

It's a little bit of a balancing act. You'll need a chassis 5 "clicks" high for Z-Teks to fit, and with a Blackvolt and two HPZ's with Shinies, you'll have around 100kg to spend on weaponry and the necessary extender work. Maybe 8 Irons if you're efficient.

This is gonna be good...

I'll start on him tomorrow.

LW Rammers only need 2 Pinks. More weapons and stronger drive Motors with the weight.

Naryar · « **Reply #188 on:** January 23, 2011, 05:06:15 AM »

Zteks + Nifty would be better. Or even HPZ's if you feel like uberspeed.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #189 on:** January 23, 2011, 06:37:15 AM »

Okay, I'm going to start now.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #190 on:** January 23, 2011, 07:44:52 AM »

Okay, this is what I've got so far:

Yeah, I know he's a Middleweight, but that's exactly why I posted him here. Torn Bush is too heavy, and I can't figure out what to take out to make him a Lightweight. I don't want to trade Nifty for Pink. Can anybody suggest anything?

Fun Fact: Torn Bush was named while I was saving him to my JPG file in my pictures. I misspelled the "Thorn" in "Thorn Bush 2". When I saw I left out the H, I decided that the name Torn Bush fit.

You could try this:

One thing that's preventing you from trimming down weight is that the control board's not stacked into the battery. Like that, you can upgrade to HP-Zteks or you can add caster armor or other stuff.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #192 on:** January 23, 2011, 07:57:18 AM »

Okay, I'll try rearranging the chassis completely, and maybe I'll be able to glitch the brain into the battery, or vice versa.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #193 on:** January 24, 2011, 02:37:02 AM »

Even if you can't stack the control board in the Nifty (it's one of the more difficult stacks to do), you can at least put the control board under or over the baseplate anchors and then scoot the battery forward and trim the chassis--it will be almost as good as a stack but much easier.

Or you can get rid of one of the rows of spikes and just make the other row wider. Save weight on baseplate anchors and T connectors.

I'll try anything, all I want is to make an 8 Iron Spike rammer. I'll edit him in any way.

Naryar · « **Reply #195 on:** January 24, 2011, 06:59:47 AM »

You can also put all of these irons on only 1 weapon rack, that is to say you need only 1 anchor and T-connector, and moar black extenders.

You might want to rotate the extenders so some of the irons point downwards and upwards, and make your setup symmetric.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #196 on:** January 24, 2011, 07:27:03 AM »

Well, I've finally finished an 8 Iron Lightweight setup:

SteveM4 · « **Reply #197 on:** January 24, 2011, 10:02:03 AM »

Invertible?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #198 on:** January 24, 2011, 10:49:01 AM »

Yes, he is invertible

Pwnator · « **Reply #199 on:** January 25, 2011, 02:59:07 AM »

Put the Nifty in between the Z-Teks and you might lose enough weight for 2 razors.
