This 20 ton OmniMech is commonly used for scouting and is able to carry a good load of electronics as a result. |Strengths=Perfectly suited to high speed scouting missions, the Dasher nonetheless finds itself used in a variety of operations by pilots wishing to exploit its speed. In a class by itself as far as speed is concerned, its raw velocity is complimented by an incredible [[Property:Light BattleMechs Turn Rate|turn rate]] and a comprehensive equipment suite for a [[Light|light mech]]. The [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]] slots give it some potential to carry moderately powerful weapons, but the resulting configuration will usually be much slower and as a result, more vulnerable. Given its fragile nature, it is usually given maximum or near maximum engine upgrades, though some configuration do strike a balance which have proven effective. The design of the arms allows it to fire from behind cover without exposing the torso, a valuable trait in such a lightly built chassis.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> |Weaknesses=There is a price to be paid for the exceptional chassis performance of the Dasher. Even fully armored, it will not absorb even minor damage without serious consequences, and firepower must be either minimal or virtually non-existent to attain top chassis performance rates and equipment support. Dashers exhibiting tremendous speed and stealth, but still able to employ an effective weapons capability will have next to nothing as far as armor protection. The prominently raised arms carry the most versatile of the weak slottage, and these are extremely vulnerable if the mechs slows down long enough to target them. This is not a likely scenario however, Dasher pilots are well aware of the limitations of their mechs and generally keep the throttle fully pegged at all times.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref> |Acceleration=40.00 |Best Acceleration=45 m/sec |Worst Acceleration=8.96 m/sec [[Urban Mech IIC]] |Deceleration=50.00 |Best Deceleration=55 m/sec |Worst Deceleration=13.06 m/sec |Turn Rate=1.40 |Best Turn Rate=1.22 º/sec |Worst Turn Rate=0.7 º/sec |Twist Speed=80 |Best Twist Speed=80 º/sec |Worst Twist Speed=40 º/sec |Elevation=30 |Best Elevation=50º |Worst Elevation=30º |Heat Capacity=27.7 |Best Heat Capacity=35.7 |Worst Heat Capacity=17.7 |Torso Twist=140 |Best Torso Twist=140º |Worst Torso Twist=140º |Damage Multiplier=3.5 |Best Damage Multiplier=3.5 |Worst Damage Multiplier=3.5 |Kill Bonus=500 |Best Kill Bonus=500 |Worst Kill Bonus=500 |Max Armor=180 |Best Max Armor=180 points |Worst Max Armor=165 points |Free Tonnage=14.1 |Best Free Tonnage=14.1 tons [[Dasher]] |Worst Free Tonnage=12.1 tons [[Flea]] |base speed=108.0 |1st upgrade=0.25 |1st speed=115.99 |2nd upgrade=0.75 |2nd speed=123.98 |3rd upgrade=1.5 |3rd speed=131.98 |4th upgrade=2.5 |4th speed=139.97 |5th upgrade=3.75 |5th speed=147.96 |6th upgrade=5.25 |6th speed=155.95 |7th upgrade=7.0 |7th speed=163.94 |final upgrade=7.0 |top speed=163.94 |engine size=Small |increments=8 |Second Mech Picture Link=dasherslots.jpg |Left Arm Slots=1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]] |Right Arm Slots=1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Energy]]<br>1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Omni]] |Left Torso Slots=1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Heat Generating]] |Right Torso Slots=1 Slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|Heat Generating]] |ECM=Yes |BAP=Yes |Jump Jets=No |LAMS=Yes |Enhanced Optics=No |IFF Jammer=No |Advanced Gyro=Yes |Tech Category=Clan BattleMechs |Weight Category=Light BattleMechs |Tonnage Category=20 |OmniMech Category=OmniMechs |cost=C-bills }}
