While its nominal off-road performance is poor (top speed a mere 11 mph due to high ground pressure), the GM may allow it to perform closer to its optimum on hard salt pans where it would be most likely to arise. More warlike versions have scythe blades and rams attached. Subassemblies and body features 13 foot mast, three standard wheels; Fair streamlining.
