We are now on test #2, scroll a bit further down this post
Greetings engineers of the world, I invite you to test my latest creation, the BL-11. It is a vehicle designed for military use and shall carry two top secret weapons wihich will be available for testing soon after the BL-11
Characteristics:
Propulsion: 2x 350BHP V6 engines powering 16w drive.
Ground clearance: 4ft (1 1/2 blocks). Which can be extended to around 10ft with the adjustable suspension.
Weight: 30.8 Imperial tons.
Range: Unknown
Top speed: Unknown
Off-road performance: Unknown
On road performance: Unkown
I need you to test this vehicle and confirm the already stated characteristics and discover the Unknown characteristics. The top five who contribute the most reliable data will be rewarded with 10 up votes each (providing you have 10 aircraft/vehicles.
Get testing! (CLOSED)
I thank you for your hard work in advance.
Second test
The BL-11 has been improved and adjusted in accordance with your feedback. The following changes are...
Reworked suspension: more shocks, links and many many more bits n bobs which make the ride ride a lot smoother. Have a look for your self! The adjustable suspension was removed as it was unnecessary and was just adding too much weight. The turning circle has also been loosened to prevent the vehicle over-turning at mid to low speeds.
Shortened hull: shortened at the back and front and that gaping hole filled in at the back. This should mean the vehicle no longer catches on terrain obstacles.
The vehicle has become a lot heavier and now weighs 47.3 imperial tons. Most of this is in the suspension so the center of gravity has been lowered and therefore preventing in-balance.
Characteristics
Propulsion 2x 200BHP V6 engines powering 16w drive
Top speed: 231 MPH
Advised off-road speed: 45 MPH
Weight: 47.3 imperial tons
Range: 100+ metric miles
On road performance: Good
Off-road performance: fair, 45 MPH is advised as a max speed.

@CaesiciusPlanes how's you post that image? Forgive my newbiness
I'm in
On road: very high traction
Offroad: bounces around a lot (happens to almost all land vehicles anyway)
Can almost tip over at 230 mph on flat ground, full turning. This speed will reduce if (tall and heavy) items are carried on it. (Since it will carry missiles in the future right?)
@CaesiciusPlanes i got 230+ mph (wright airport run)
@RailfanEthan Thanks muchly!
I've done a quick offroad test, and it appears that the front lip should be shortened. It gets in the way of climbing hills or passing large bumps in the road. And I noticed the creation floats, you might want to develop that feature a littel more (water propulsion?).
@CaesiciusPlanes how'd you do that?
@CaesiciusPlanes that's the one! Looks like something from thunderbirds doesn't it? Lol@CaesiciusPlanes
@CaesiciusPlanes Thank you! I shall make adjustments accordingly.
@CaesiciusPlanes Thank you sir! How does it perform if you take it from Yeager to Bandit, via the bridge?
id do it.
