War Rig (for apocalypse challenge)
Some people still remember life before the apocalypse. When people acted as people. One of those who remembers was also proudly serving his nation in the araluen air force. Because of this, he decided to paint his custom truck with the colors of the air force. It was assembled from the armor plates of tanks, jets, and anything else he could get his hands on in the military. This lead to the truck being one of the most well armored vehicles in the wasteland, saving the pilots life more than once. The cannon is taken directly from the main battle tank of the araluen forces, giving this rig exceptional fire power. The plows on the front and sides were made using the front armor plates of the same tank. Group 1 and vtol for front plow, trim up for side plows. Group 2 and vtol/trim for cannon. Extra info: The steering wheel isnt supposed to be detailed. It is meant to look like a metal plate. Dont take this offroading too fast. It doesnt have much ground clearance. I think this covers everything. Have Fun!
Edit: Apparantly the rear wheels are glitchy and like to explode. On high physics they should work just fine.

Oh wow! I changed the physics from low to high and it fixed the problem entirely.
Okey dokey
@KidKromosone That must be a physics problem. I am using high physics on my pc, and the rear wheels work just fine. I will update the description.
Ok @KnightOfAraluen it seems that the extra wheels on the rear axle caused most of the lag. I removed them and the truck handled quite well. Nice job.
I'll try again
On my mobile device the rear wheel glitches uncontrollably until the truck simply explodes. Idk why.
@KidKromosone I hope I don't come across as asking for upvotes, but what is your reason for not upvoting this? I want to know so I can improve.
@Blue0Bull Thanks. I might try to make better cannons on my next creations.
@mushr0om Oh, never seen the show.
@KnightOfAraluen Its what they say in Doomsday preppers :P
@mushr0om How did you figure this?
@Rugpeersdude Yeah, with the huge size I couldnt get it to turn very well, but once it gets to a straight stretch, anyone in front of this is doomed.

@KnightOfAraluen this is absolutely awesome looking! I love the plows! Really gives it that apocalypse feel! This thing is a nice dragster but doesn't handle very well. Lol. This is the kind of truck you'd see in a movie coming towards you with explosions in the background. Lol.
6/10 for driveability
10/10 for looking the part
8/10 for special features

For a total score of: 29 points!!! Very nice!!!
@KidKromosone thanks
Very cool! Nice story to go along with the rig!
