bjac.co Lynx Light Transport
I've been getting into constructing vehicles as of recent (this past year or so) and I've been having a good deal of fun experimenting with different types of suspension and acceleration curves. I have a couple of other large projects coming up soon that I think y'all will enjoy as well as this.

History
When bjac.co heard the US military announced a competitive contract to potentially replace the HMMWV, they jumped onto the opportunity immediately. The vehicle they would try for the contract would end up being the Lynx Light Utility Transport.
In the February of 2007 the development of the Lynx Light Utility Transport began with the goal of making a vehicle that's more mine resistant & more maneuverable than the HMMWV while still retaining its urban combat capabilities and simplistic design. It's development cycle was unusually short for a typical bjac.co developmental project. The first prototypes were completed within the year (December of 2007) but the final designs were delayed by the global financial crash and eventually finished in 2013. The design won the contract issued by the U.S Department of Defense.
The LLUT didn't see as much use in combat as bjac.co would've hoped for. It soon became another situation where the US military paid for an expensive program that really didn't go anywhere. The LLUT didn't innovate, and it was actually a pretty expensive program because the short development cycle forced bjac.co to pay for a lot of mistakes and overtime from employees. Mechanized troops had a love-hate relationship with the vehicle because the vehicle could go a lot faster over rough and bumpy terrain making it suitable for emergency escapes and, unlike the HMMWV, it could survive multiple blasts from surface mines / IED's. It also had poorer turning capabilities than the HMMWV as a result of the suspension design. Not to mention the fact that the LLUT only came in one model that had tight modification support, and crews would have to be forced to be trained to fix its two different suspension types.
In short the Lynx Light Utility Transport was fairly controversial as it didn't necessarily meet all the design goals it had set out to fulfill. The LLUT did have some unexpected strengths however, it was more capable at scouting and reconnaissance, and some specialized espionage and logistical tasks. All in all the LLUT would serve as a good supplement to the HUMVEE and especially good as convoy headers if heavier vehicles weren't available.

Excellent work
Can you pls make a M1A2 Abrams?
your vehicles drive very well
@bjac0 dang that’s sad but oki!
@Topgun757 one of the big reasons why i stopped working on it is because I accidentally broke the flight model and I can't fix it. Some of the other big reasons is that the part count is too high for me to really test is properly and, me being as dumb as I am, I forgot to save multiple versions and I don't feel like doing a major rework. At this point I'd prob have to restart it and I don't really have the time to at the moment. I'd have to start working on it once I'm out of highschool.
@bjac0 if you can’t fully complete the storm jet, why not upload the incomplete one, at least it would fly
Why does this thing do barrel rolls when you turn?
@bjac0 understandable have a great day
We call it humvee
How about to make GAZ Tigr or Vodnik?
Really well made, one of the few well built suspensions on the site, perfectly tuned. Brakes are a bit overpowered for something this big
Looks like a Mix of the old Humvee and the new MATV
@TOMJeb117 gonna be honest, at this point it's probably never gonna be uploaded. Just too much work with too few skills to complete it. There's a very small possibility I could complete it in the future but I wouldn't bet on it.
When that fighter coming
Wow, epic work
actually sent my balls into 3rd gear
HMREEEEE @asteroidbook345
humveeeee
Ayo the site bugging out
