“Racehorse” Three-Wheeled Heavy Diesel Scout Car Mk. XXXIII

            In an era when the industrial fashion of the vehicular realm was to worship at the altar of engine power, the Racehorse was exceptionally fast even by the outsized standards of its day. In the role of a combat scout vehicle, its automatic rifle at the rearward-facing passenger position was a minor defensive feature in contrast to the throttle of its supercharged engine, which allowed it to outstrip any automotive pursuer. Despite its cambered wheels, its lack of nimbleness and roaring engine made it unfit for deft stealth missions, and it instead excelled as a convoy scout and courier, where open terrain allowed it to exploit its great speed. Surplus vehicles, unsurprisingly, gained high popularity as off-road racers in the hands of prosperous civilian thrill-seekers. 

Play Features:
-Pull-back motor drives wheels and pumps pistons
-Rear wheel shock absorbers

-Hinged driver’s door
