More or less a combination of aspects of various previous designs. It features the counter-torque steering system of Prowler 2.0, the jet downforce traction system of Spider, and the air-control lift system of Iceberg. Pitch and roll drive the vehicle. Throttle powers the jet engine which generates downforce. VTOL shifts the downforce nozzles backward or forward to generate momentum in either direction. As a humorous side effect of the lift system and downforce system, the vehicle is capable of flight. The suspension is a little touchy, and likes to fall apart over tiny bumps that shouldn't be able to hurt it. Keep it slow. The slower you're going, the more stable and safe you'll be. You can use the downforce nozzles to help you climb hills, and even cliffs. Also, if anyone could design a safer and more reliable suspension system, I encourage them to make a successor. I am not very good at suspension.
