Should move a ton of ammo to the head. Also, should remove 2 tons of ammo and upgrade the MLs to MPLs. The beam duration difference is the difference between life and death. You shouldn't really be engaging much past 300m in the YLW anyway.
As to the mechs I love seeing, literally anything that I know is stock. Also, most Grid Iron pilots are garbage and it's really easy to instakill their Gauss Rifle.
Technically, the build he got off me was:
One True Wang
Same build I have run on it since the day it was introduced (except possibly the DHS, I honestly cannot remember which was introduced first).
As you noted, the speed makes the range irrelevant, and the beam duration is often the difference between keeping your RA or not. The Mech absorbs damage like a hoss, and I find few enough people try to leg me, that I prefer to keep my shield arm fully armored to absorb more punishemnt.
With this setup, I probably lose the arm one match in 4, and lose it before I run out of ammo (or nearly) 1 match in 10.
Though I admit, I feel a little ashamed to admit, I have largely parked it in favor of my HBK-4G. Though when I need to run Medium Mechs in a non CW match on my Clan Acct, I go to my YLW before ANY Clan Medium made.

For me right now it's gotta be the Zeus. It's like and Awesome without the quirks.
You must be running against Lightfoot a lot then.... because with pilots who twist, Zeus are tough as nails.
