FR-01 Hercules Beetle Prototype MKII (Buggy Challenge)

711 irishhavoc  8.0 years ago

Reworked front suspension to look and function better.


This is my entry into the Buggy Challenge. The Hercules Beetle is suited best for the track or light off-roading, or take off and soar into the sky. It features working suspension, though stiff, for small bumps and jumps, and helps with landing from flight. The controls are as follows: drive with PITCH, turn with ROLL, VTOL DOWN to raise weapons, WHILE VTOL is DOWN, ARM1 to spring into flight mode, ARM2 for additional boost. VTOL UP from CENTER will result in SELF-DESTRUCT.

    @MrSilverWolf Thanks! After swapping out some modded parts, my personal version flies at about 1200 mph. Sadly, this version only hits about 400.
