ClearHorizon Miniatures Releases M-19 Recon Assault Transport - RAT SpecOps Buggy

Heinz Good Aryan, since you didn't agree with my 'skid steering' approach on the other place (on the message boards TMP link ) that this subject was Tango'd, I have an alternative explanation: the Shadow RSTV link

Now the Shadow's probably not going to actually happen in the real world but – irrespective of that – the idea was/is that its electric driven wheels can move further away from the hull or closer in, depending on transportation needs (ie in a narrow aircraft) or for use on the road.

If the wheels on this RAT are (like the Shadow) electric and on telescoping axles, how about, before the vehicle can turn, the wheels articulate outwards away from the hull, giving enough room to swivel as well? All controled by drive-by-wire computers?

Yeah, I know it's all piffle but – as Mr Harold said elsewhere – it's a 15mm wargaming toy… and the guns don't fire either! ;)

By the way, it looks nothing like that vehicle from Halo…
