I would advise against having a double hammer as in the end you would be distributing weight to FOUR bursts, plus armor. Ditch one of them and you'll be fine. You should also downgrade to shinies so you'll still have weight for more armor.

I see horridly gay rainbow components, clones, chassis cheating and pitiful attempts at originality.

You can honestly say that you attached a baseplate halfway out the chassis? And two baseplates halfway in a nifty plus a CB? All pixel perfect? Cool story bro.

I've done this as well. It is possible to "exostack" a Baseplate Anchor, and get two of then into a Nifty/CB Stack like that. It just takes quite a long time to get it exactly right.

First off, this "exostack" term needs to die.

And second off, no. 4 components do not mesh like that normally. It's quite hard just to get 4 pinks in one place.

I have stacked two BA's, a CB and a Nifty battery like that before. Sometimes you can get crazy stacks like this if the angle of everything is absolutely perfect.

I second NFX. Exostacking is possible, I have done it several times with motors and batteries. It's just hard to do it.

I know MikeNCR has some good DSL exostacks. One TWM3R halfway out of the chassis on a shell spinner IIRC
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Thanks for backing me up guys but I can understand why he's sceptical. I did actually manage to do all of this, though. No cheating.

Inf, I'll send you my latest Bug Bite, it has exostacked baseplate anchors (you can see it clearly on the bottom baseplate anchor on the right side of the bot):



I swear to you, 100% legit.

I'm with the others on this Inf. Although they might have used NC's stacker tool?

They might have used movepixel or hax mode. They could have done it without either, but it is far more infrequent.

Both wrong. I sat there stacking it without any help. I couldn't get NC's tool to work. >)>

I don't use NC's tool either, and I can still pull crazy stacks like this off. =)

I think inf's just missed out on a few developments while he was away from the boards.

Not to turn this showcase into a discussion about exostacking, but it's legit, requires nothing like hax mode or NC's tool, fairly easy to do, and has been around for more than a year. I did it on my Ninja remake for ReStocked here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,798.msg177299.html#msg177299
