Simple, wanted a vehicule to travel fast over ice,sand or water or other generally flat or gradually sloping areas. Hopefully ill make a slightly different version for dense forest, mountins and other more hazerdous areas.

Yeah. ill prolly animate it at least a little. i plan on taking time and textuing it so i want to make a very clean model.

I think i can go through and fix some of the edges especially along the tubes and be set. Maybe add some stuff to the center shaft to spice it up. any suggestions?
