VTOL to Drive, Yaw to Steer, Pitch and Roll to control turret. (1) to activate turret. (4) to fire main gun. The M20 Beagle Scout Car is a Paternian armored car vehicle designed for reconnaissance. Designed to replace the notoriously incapable M121 Seeker, it is a much better balanced, better-armored, and better-armed machine. This particular machine is armed with a medium-velocity 90mm cannon, although it can be armed with a 60mm breech-loading mortar or 20mm automatic cannon. In addition, it can fit wire-guided anti-tank missiles. The Beagle was a welcome addition to the Paternian Army's arsenal.

@Pilotmario No problem!
@Sparrow007 Thanks!
Nice build!
@PINK It's actually narrower than the 6x6 previously posted, although wider than the Jeep.
They actually wanted the wheelbase to be wider to disperse the weight better and improve stability. This is due to the terrible reputation the Seeker got for rollover related accidents.
While it had many other flaws, such as ineffective armor, no firepower parity over a Jeep, overburdened chassis, and underpowered engine, the propensity to roll over was its most famous. It was a Seeker rollover that nearly killed singer/actress Celina Charleston. She was in the combat zone for a USO performance as an entertainer, and was returning to base when a sharp turn was approached too quickly (they were in a rush to get to another base) and it flipped over.
Looks way to wide.
