FINISHED 4X4 Challenge
Welcome to the 4x4 challenge! Anyone is welcome. All you have to do to enter is download this project and delete everything and make your own 4x4 vehicle. I would prefer if you didn't re-upload this exact project, it will be disqualified, you can make variations of you like. It must be mobile friendly, thus it should have mods only compatible with mobile, you should try to keep it under 500 parts (I think that should be enough, if it is too many it will crash my iPad)
important: it does not have to be 4x4 (receiving power to all four wheels) it can be rear-wheel drive, 6x6 8x8, heck even 16x16! In fact I would preference some wacky looking cars that have 32 wheels or something like that.
You can download the jeep in the picture at this address:

The challenge ends the 27th of December 2016. (I think that should be enough time, ten days)I will look at every vehicle that is uploaded, even if it does not fit with in the limits. But it can't win. You should make it a direct successor of this upload or else it will not win. The prize will most likely be a follow, spotlight, and up vote, etc.
This specific challenge will be graded differently. First I will drive the vehicle around to see how it handles and works, then it will compete in a tournament style comparison on the snow crawl race track in the snow stone area. This will be AI controlled. You can get up to 4 points in the categories below. Plus two extra points awarded for extraordinary work in the looks section and the control category . And another 4 points will go to the section below that. If you are not awarded a point in a category it does not mean it is bad but just not good.
How I will rate the vehicles:
-flight/drive.
-Does it control well? (2/10)
-looks. It gotta look good! (2/10)
-Overall. Is it practical. It can just be a propeller attached to a cockpit without any wings! Or is it just a frame with no engine (1/10)
-Performance. this depends on the challenge, if it is a a aerobatic challenge it should be able to do flips, if it is a car challenge it should be able to go up a hill (1/10)
Race standards: you get awarded one point for you car surviving until the end. You get one point for winning under three minutes, an extra one for winning under 5 minutes. A finale point will be awarded for winning in first place.
It would be great if you could comment your opinion of the following:
-was it to easy or hard?
-was the deadline to close?
-did you enjoy this challenge, or challenges in general? (I plan on making more)
-is there in information I left out that would have been useful to know?
-do you have any other comments on this challenge?

Winner: @z24zorpx4 ! Sorry but I had to remove the racing part of this challenge because the cars couldn't do it.
@BananaBoat33 AI can't drive right so are you going to be breaking and throttling the car and can I get looks for detail on a frame
To be a successor that just means it have to be a variation of this plane. Also I don't really understand your other questions. @Wolfhamdanman
For mine is the up
Last question if your letting the bot drive the track are you going to apply brakes and give the car throttle
And what do you mean a successor all my planes have like 1 upvote
Ok ok I would go balls to the wal and make a big vehicle but could I still get looks if I made a nice looking frame with an engin
The fixed version. Use this for my entry!

It is. @BananaBoat33
@Boeing209 yup, as long as it is a successor. You can make it a subassembly.
@nfsplatinum anything that is a car. No airplanes.
Try to keep it under 500 parts but it isn't a strict limit. I just don't want to crash my iPad. @Konade1
Can I enter my 4x4 flying truck that I made?
Can I enter a rock crawler or buggy?
Is their a part limit?
