Hazedrifter Fairweather Trotter R7.1 is an entry for ChallengerHellcat's Rally Challenge


Full interior featuring multiple gauges, accelerometer (with ideal rally speed indicator), tachometer (with max RPM indicator), and even a visual indicator for when surpassing ideal journey speed (approx 80 mph), which is handy for TSD rally racing. In addition, working doors and hood with functional handles. Uses FT for easy door operation (no fiddling with trim or VTOL).

This design attempts to achieve the highest score possible based on HC's Rally Challenge, so it should be noted that this design features custom rims, decals, and exhaust. The vehicle doesn't have windshield wipers by design, but in an attempt to get points, the two leftmost gauges use a variant of* windshield wiper FT code. The vehicle was designed using the calculator mod to achieve the *desired scale. The vehicle will rarely flip over, but in the event that it does, self-righting is as simple as pressing a single button. Though this vehicle is not designed to achieve incredible speeds, above 130 mph, the realistic scaling of speed allows for impeccable handling.

Vehicle was tested thoroughly using these tracks:
-Room Romp
-Corcle Island
-Hecka Island
-Farmer's Circuit
-Rai- I mean Skyroad Circuit
... as well as the typical places on the main sandbox. (... so everywhere, this is a shameless self-plug)


Pitch - Accelerate/Reverse
Roll - Turn
Yaw - Blinkers
AG1-3 - Door/Hood/Trunk
AG 8 -Turn Off Headlights


In addition to all that, there's a working parking brake...

Bouncing fuzzy dice makes for an exciting ride through rough terrain. The gear shifter is based on the sequential shifter and makes for a realistic representation.

This was made before the FT update that allowed working fuel gauges, so please excuse the extra "fake" gauges. They move up and down as time passes, though.
