If you're gold tier bound, level the weapons first. I found I got demolished using level 6 bots in gold tier, but they were far more usable after getting them to level 9, where almost all bots reach max speed. Another tip, pay attention to what others use successfully. I found the CRV Pin/Tulumbas (Russian Death Button) Griffin surprisingly efficient in my early gold hangar. It tends to survive longer than my Death Button (Pinata/Orkan) Rhino and was putting up better numbers back then, too. At weapons level 9 or 10, the RDB Griffin deals some serious damage to Rhinos; just remember to stay more than 350 meters away from them. The Griffin is a great platform for the RDB because it can quickly retreat.
