Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Tutorial Plane
It took me several iterations to get a buggy that would easily earn the expert achievement for the "Riding Dirty" race. This buggy features long-travel swing arm suspension for simplicity and compactness. The torsion bar across the back reduces body roll and of course there are enough wings to generate some down force and provide limited control in the air if the jump was too big. The engines set up to use VTOL input controls instead of the throttle because they allow easy backing up.v
