RTVU QUADBOGGER 10 [WIP]

Description
***Based*** on the CASE QUADTRAC this version is designed for a more transport and exploration purpose.

The Quadbogger and its soon to be developed variants are currently work in progress! So expect updates for all versions!

The RTVU is a lineup of quad tracked rescue/exploration tractors aimed at a multi role mission in resupplying, aid, exploration, heavy pulling, generator.

The series is expected to soon consist of a bigger more powerful version labelled the 'QuadBear'
And its faster wheeled lighter counterpart, the 'QuadSprinter'

The current bogger has the following features:
Quad track design for more traction
Pivot body steering
single door access to cab
Fire extinguisher in cab
Rear connector for hauling with connector
Cab jump seat
Medium engine maxed at 23 RPS (may change)
Different ranges for high and low speeds
Direct clutch driveshaft propulsion design (not automatic nor manual)
Basic ABS braking option
Anti tip and roll system for high range driving
4WD drive option
Ditch lights
Indicator lights
Head lights
2nd battery for cold start/dead main batt
Beacon lights
Brake lights and reverse lights
Hood for easy engine bay access
In cab heater
Dual mirror monitor system incase of limited vision
Extendable rear lights for when hauling load
Comprehensive and compacted microcontroller logic controlled cab
Composite cab
Weight block in key areas for extra traction
Very low and near centre centre of mass for stable driving (slightly deviated to the right)
Custom fuel tank
Easy engine control (engine throttle value is constant)
Ropes connected between each body for extra detail

Build tips:
Advised not to use ABS in low range
Advised to not use ditch lights on roads as they are very bright

Known issues:
The roll prevention systems are linear, meaning they do not decrease pivot ranges as the the speed increases.
ABS stutters when braking
The ditch lights and head lights are too powerful
2nd batt dosent recharge after engine start
The shutdown procedure takes a while
MCB is too hard to find
Missing refuel cap
Missing generator point
Workshop page missing start instructions (sorry you are on your own for now on that one if you cant figure it out)

Everything on that list will get sorted eventually, I could possibly add a cab radio for other bogger drivers.

Expected questions:
Q: Engine overheats and catches fire
A: Turn on cooling on the drivers side panel first before starting!

Q: All the controls are dead!
A: Make sure MCB is on drivers panel and ignition

Q: Where is fuel gauge?
A: The fuel gauge can be located on the floor on the left hand side of the drivers seat

Q: Where is the second batt switch?
A: It is located below the cab door on the front portion of the build

Q: How to access engine?
A: The hood button is located on the opposite side of the drivers door on the hood of the build

Q: I keep tipping in high range!
A: Make sure to turn on the tip/roll prevention system on the drivers panel

Q: Im not reaching max speed as said on the build?
A: Make sure 4WD is enabled for rear tracks to be powered

Q: My engine wont shut off!
A: Make sure to hold down the shutdown button until the low RPS light comes on!

Q: No brakes
A: Press 1 in drivers seat

Q: Too much track friction?
A: Sorry, stormworks thing, not me :/

Please do not reupload my workshop item and claim as own :)
