**Cost:** $

Unless the vehicle is equipped with Bodywork it has no armour, and without an Engine or Drive Systems it is little more than a frame for parts. though the Chassis is fitted with basic wheels and Tires as well as basic Transmission, Brakes, Fuel Tank, and Driver Seat, everything else must be purchased separately.

A Heavy Car can have a single or Twin Engine and one Drive System, though it may be equipped with several layers of armour, up to 8 Layers of Bodywork can be fitted to a Heavy Car though it does not need any Bodywork to be put in play, but a Heavy Car must have an Engine and Drive system to be fielded.

### Engines

Blah

**Inline-Five Cylinder Engine:** Blah

**Flat-Six Engine:** Blah

**V6 Engine:** The Smallest Engine fitted to Cars, this engine is cheap but provides only lighter Vehicles with enough power to make any considerable speed on the road. A V6 Engine Costs $6'000 and has a Weight of 150.

**Flat-Eight Engine:** Blah

**Electric Turbine Engine:** Blah

**Wankel Rotary Engine:** Though Rare the Wankel Engine is favored among some Road Gangs and Ops Teams for its excellent Power to weight ratio, Designed to generate power using rotary piston systems as opposed to linear Cylinders, this Engine is often overlooked due to its complex design and the expense of materials to make it function effectively. A Wankel Rotary Engine costs $25,000 and weights 150.

### Drive Systems

Blah

**Cable System:** The Most basic form of Drive System for any Vehicle is the Cable System, composed of a few levers, hinges, and cables to provide a direct connection to the engine and wheels. A Cable System Costs $4'000 and weighs 25.

**Hydraulic System:** Most Vehicles used by Road Warriors are fitted with this system, composed of hydraulic cables and control components connecting the Engine and Wheels to the Drivers hands. A hydraulic System Costs $8'000 and Weighs 75.

**Electronic System:** By far the most complex and advanced form of Drive System, composed of computers and actuators that connect the Engine and Wheels to the Driver. An Electronic System Costs $12'000 and weighs 40.

### Interior

Blah

**Passenger Seat:** By adding in an additional Seat the Vehicle can carry a second Character as a Passenger inside the Vehicle, this allows the Passenger to enjoy the safety and Armour (if any) of the Vehicle, while also being able to get in and out or just shoot out of the window. A Passenger Seat Costs $250 and requires 1 Interior Mount.

**Cargo Container:** The use of Cargo Storage on a Vehicle allows it to transport additional supplies, such as Spare Clips, Extra Fuel, or even Repair Parts. A Cargo Container Costs $50 and requires 1 Interior Mount.

A Vehicle equipped with this system has some protection from Radiation, Gas, and Dust in the environment. Environment Seals Costs $1,000 and requires 1 Interior Mount.

**Sleeper:** Building a Bed into a vehicle is typically only done in large vehicles but almost any vehicle with an Interior can have a Sleeper Space, only 1 Character can use a Sleeper at a time. A Sleeper Costs $200 and requires 2 Interior Mounts.

### Bodywork

Blah

**Plastic Body Paneling:** Is the most basic form of Bodywork a Vehicle can have these panels provide only 1/2 a point of armour to the vehicle but they do prevent dust and radiation from simply destroying the Vehicle in a few hours on the road. Plastic Body Panelling Costs $X a Facing and has a weight of X.

**Carbon Steel Armour:** The most commonly used form of armour on the road is a composite Carbon Metamaterial coated by Steel plating layers providing armour protection at a reasonable cost, though it is the heaviest form of armour available. Carbon Steel Armour Costs $X per facing and has a weight of X.

**Carbon Plastic Armour:** Though composed of the same sort of Carbon Metamaterial this armour is made with Plastic composites and Carbon-Plastic Fibres making it more costly to buy but much lighter than other armours. Carbon Plastic Armour Costs $X per facing and has a weight of .

### Weapons

Blah

**Light Weight Weapon:** These are the smallest type of Weapon that is fitted to a Vehicle, though they are light enough to be used as Heavy Weapons by Characters on foot, though generally they are equipped to Vehicles such as Bikes and Trikes due to their limits on Weight.

**Medium Weight Weapon:** The Mainstay of Vehicular Weapons, used mainly by Cars and Larger Vehicles as the primary form of Combat weapon on the road, these Weapons tend to be well balanced in Cost and Weight.

**Heavy Weight Weapon:** The Heaviest form of Weapon typically fitted to Road Vehicles, these weapons are both Heavy in weight and on the pocket making them difficult to obtain and use in large quantities.

**Turrets, Pintles, and Cupola's:** Vehicles with a Heavy Roof Mount can be equipped with Turrets or Cupolas allowing fitted weapons to target enemies in any direction rather than being in Fixed Firing positions, While Pintle Mounts can be fitted to Cars and larger Vehicles and provide a 90 Degree firing arc.

**Light Weight Passive:** Small and compact, these devices are used to deploy Mines, Oil, Smoke, or a number of other weapons that remain on the road and can prove dangerous to navigate.

**Heavy Weight Passives:** Heavy versions of their Light Weight cousins, these are typically much the same as the Light versions, except that they can carry considerably more ammunition than is possible for the Light Variants.

**Wheel Blades:** By fitting Spikes, Blades, or Bars to the Vehicles wheels it is possible to increase the damage dealt during Sideswipes with other Vehicles.

### Other Equipment

Blah

**All Wheel Drive:** Vehicles built or fitted to transfer power to all wheels can find grip more easily and operate better on Hazards and Off Road, Vehicles must be new in order to be fitted with All Wheel Drive. All Wheel Drive costs $8,000 and has a weight of 50.

**Charger:** The use of Fuel Injectors, Turbo Chargers, and other such systems is commonly applied to increase the fuel flow rate or regulate the engine more effectively, a Vehicle fitted with a Charger gains more power and acceleration from their Engine. Chargers cost $5'000 and Weigh 5.

**Nox:** Originally referred to as Nos or NO2 this system provides a vehicle with a sudden and significant increase to its Acceleration and Max Speed, though this is not automatically active as it can cause the engine to explode. Nox Injectors cost $2'000 and weigh 5.

**Oil Injection:** By Injecting Oil into the engines fuel this system generates a trail of smoke behind the vehicle obscuring line of sight for those behind it, this system provides a tactical advantage but it does negatively impact the vehicles Acceleration and Max Speed.
