The Tri-Explorer 1 is a 3-wheeled, low riding vehicle. It can go at decent speeds and can climb pretty steep inclines. It has a stylish, sleek orange look and is great all around! What is also different, is that instead of being powered by a jet, the ROTATORS actually power it!
Instructions:
-Pull VTOL up to move forward or down to reverse.
-To stop, you have to use the brake, and maybe reverse a little. It takes getting used to.
-Camera 1 for a great cockpit view
Notes:
-In this design, the rotators spin "forever" due to XML Modding. They cannot be "stopped" until they reach the 0 Degrees position which takes FOREVER after driving.
-I wanted to test the capabilities of XML Modding rotators to see if I could make a "motor" out of it, turns out I can but it has limitations. If I put the speed on the motors too high it goes crazy (thats why this goes a bit slow, may make a faster one)

@goboygo1 Sorry...Santa can't make it. ITS TOO EPIC. (Totally not egocentric)
oh my word, i want one for Christmas.
@BrainyDJ no problem. Out of curiosity, did you happen to watch a show called "American Makers" recently? They featured a vehicle very similar to this recently. Was that your inspiration?
@TheLatentImage Thanks :D
This thing is pretty cool. Nice work man.
The left or right wheels doesn't work for my vehicle yours is flawless
@Earthbenderrwefa What doesn't work? I'll probably respond tomorrow though...
This is awesome I tried too but I can't xml mod and the thing doesn't work and love the cockpit view
