The JRAB FAV – Jack Rabbit Fast Armored Vehicle – is the United Americas Marine Corps general purpose utility vehicle with 13 current variants depending on mission profile.

The Mark I variant is the most common type provided to first mover UAMC squads in invasion scenarios and for squads operating independently in theatre.

The Mark I features a four-wheel, lightly armored shell and internal space for six Marines and their equipment. Typically a Marine squad will have two JRABs assigned to them to allow the entire squad to move quickly through territory.

Although capable of engaging the enemy in battle with its remotely operated top-gun configuration, the Mark I is primarily used for transport with Marines dismounting to fight. Unlike its more heavily armed and armored APC, LAV, and tank brethren, the JRAB is considered by many Marines as their "ride" and not a weapons-system of itself.

There are, however, many weapons options for the Mark I but the three most common are the HMG, automatic grenade launcher, and light missile system.

Each JRAB is quick to assemble with a main body, four wheels, and weapon options for the top turret. Use basic superglue for assembly.

Each set includes two JRABs with weapon options for $29.95 USD.

Nice. I like the Panhard scout car design.

More like the Komatsu LAV from Japan. But I always thought it looked cool.

Very good looking and at a good price too! Is the HMG configuration automated or manually operated?

I'm looking forward to seeing what reviewers say about these. DF has had something of a checkered history, but this could be a very good step in the right direction.

Nice. I'll look for them at The Warstore.

Comes standard with a six CD in-dash unit, Bose speakers, and Bluetooth connectivity!

You know, it's weird, but I designed a 3mm vehicle (inspired by the Komatsu) not long ago that could be this thing's offspring (the little guys on the lower left and right):

Nice!

Might get a set for my Ariadnans, when they get closer to reality.

Are these available to order through any other stores or webstores yet? Heard some horror stories about ordering direct from Defiance so I'd rather pay a bit more for some peace of mind by dealing with somebody else.
