:agreed: on the flares. It really bums me out that I can't widen the wheels, or at the very least have them poke out when you slap on those bolt on arches.







It is a super fun and pretty car other than that little issue. Lots of really good visual options, and you can make it into a really nice JDM-lookin 240Z clone. A large chunk of the Tuner wheels work really well with this thing, and it has a wide variety of cool spoilers. Real nice hood options too, I had a hard time choosing between stock and clean or the classic vented one. It throws flames like crazy too, the pictures don't do it justice with how much the exhaust pops :allears:

Hey, this dumb thing is out. It's not bad or anything, just really boring customization options. Woo, you can get a couple different spoilers and you can slap a giant splitter on it and paint the carbon bits. Exciting :rolleyes:

There's screenshots of the new vehicles on Foxy's Twitter for those interested. Obviously there's spoilers on unreleased stuff so if you want to be surprised don't click, but... Eleanor from the Nic Cage version of Gone In 60 Seconds, a Ford RS200 rally car, the motherfucking Hotring from Vice City in all its 80s boxy stock car goodness, a classic Mini Cooper, a Toyota Supra, the Sea Sparrow is making a return, and there's even a BMW 2002 and a Volvo Amazon wagon! Lots of good poo poo.

Holy poo poo the Taipan is awful. Like... really, really bad. That thing looks like garbage, drives like a greased up log, corners with all the body roll of a Lincoln Continental from the 70s, and has basically no real customization options. It might just claim the title for "Most worthless car I have ever purchased" right off the jump :v:

The Hotring and GS200 are good and fun though. The GS200 is especially hilarious, it has such a stupid amount of grip that it will flat out roll sideways if you pitch it into a sharp turn going too fast and at too much of an angle. I managed to get a good bit of distance barrel rolling it down hills this way. As for the Hotring, I just need to grind out 18 races so I can get the best livery for it, aka the one that lets you make a decent clone of the Days of Thunder car :allears:

It's also incredibly resilient in crashes with the local scenery. I pinged it off trees multiple times last night and kept clipping my wings on everything trying to get used to doing attack runs, and it just kept flying with no issues. I kept expecting one of them to just rip the wing off like with everything else, but that plane is solid. I've got full armor on mine, which might explain a lot :v:

Strangely, there's no actual Mach 5 livery! Also, as expected, you need to bring it to your Avenger / MoC to modify it. No weapon or cosmetic mods, just livery and wheels and the usual performance and armor stuff. The boost lasts way longer than I expect every time, so I won't be surprised if a lot of these things end up in lakes and rivers :v:

Heck yeah! Didn’t have much time tonight but I bought the garage(3.6m). Used a rat loader I already had and upcharged that, hot drat there’s a lot of options. Is there any difference other than aesthetic to the apocalypse/future/exxxtreme versions? I did NOT see an option to change that later or even to downgrade it to stock

The new weapons are neat. I went with the kinetic grenade launcher(goes about 50ft and then FWUMP! there’s an explosion but very little damage. It’ll launch a cop car into the air) Sticky prox mines might be useful in the arena mode? Bounce is bounce, don’t know what lower % does, or rather how much bounce you get at each level
How do you activate the boost?

Depends on the boost. Shunt boost is RB / R1 + a direction on the stick, normal boost is just RB / R1. Or A / X on the face buttons depending on your handbrake controls.

Scoop front bumpers own. They function the same way as the Phantom Wedge's plow, so you can fling everything you touch hundreds of feet into the air. Good times!


I bought a second Imperator and second Impaler to go with my normal cars. No weapons, no crazy post apocalyptic decorations or spikes, just cool rear end looking cars to cruise in. Shame the the Impaler has to have either the garbage Nightmare upgrade or the Apocalypse upgrade to get the kickass giant rear tires, since I really wanted to do a semi-clean and polished drag Impaler. Ah well.

Impaler. The normal version is a pretty clean Impala street cruiser, the Apocalypse / Nightmare versions get massive rear tires and look like crazy drag cars.

I ended up buying the new RC truck despite the absolutely absurd price of $1.7mil and uh.


It's pretty hilarious and also fairly well implemented. It's stored in your Arena Workshop on its own little table, and you can customize it from there. It has multiple bodies, a set of liveries that you can apply to all of them, and the usual wheels, paint colors, etc. It has a vertical jump like the Ruiner, it can equip Kinetic or EMP mines, you can slap a remote explosive on it, and as far as I can tell it has unlimited range and battery.



NPCs absolutely freak the hell out when you drive it near them. It has enough weight to ragdoll people to the ground if you fling it into someone with enough speed and force. I haven't managed to kill anyone by running into / over them, but I can see this being hilarious if you can use it to mess with other players :allears:


Hood cam is also really fun. Makes for an interesting drive around the city.

Physics-wise, it's weird as hell. It's incredibly floaty, surprisingly fast, and it absolutely hate stairs and curbs. Navigating sidewalks is an adventure, and it's real easy to flip this thing onto the roof. So, accurate. Interesting things of note, it is always in your inventory. To drive it, you open the menu, go to inventory, and hit the option to play with your RC Bandito. From what I can tell, it pulls your actual character out of the world. Also, any wanted level you get with the truck is applied to you as well. I blew up an FBI SUV with the remote explosive, got a 3*, and found myself in a police chase :v:

It's fun. I don't think I'd recommend buying it unless you're hacker rich and have stupid amounts of money to blow, but I imagine i'll end up playing with this thing pretty regularly.
