Typhoon B1 Exploration Buggy

Description
!!!FEATURES!!!
- Insane speed courtesy of the large thruster on the back
- The ability to self-deploy from a mothership (no dropship required)
- Two +250% gyroscopes for ultimate maneuverability
- Myriad adjustments to both the front and rear suspension, allowing the B1 to adapt to even the roughest terrain
- Artifical mass blocks to augment the traction further, even when you've got all tires cranked up to 100% friction
- Pistons to allow the ship to easily be serviced from the bottom

Hey there, this is my most recent creation: the Typhoon B1! The B1 is a buggy made with fun in mind. To that end, it includes numerous thrusters to aid in acceleration, maneuevering, and braking, as well as increasing its offroading capabilities. It's quite a beast, so subscribe to it now and give it a spin! You'll like it, guaranteed.

NOTE: The buggy's practical top speed is about 80-90M/s. Anything above that and the wheels start freaking out. Nothing I can do about it, though, sorry. :(

=STATS=
Mass: 14,550kg

=Servicing your B1=
Servicing your B1 is super-easy.
- From the cockpit:
1. Navigate to Hotbar 1 using the < or > keys.
2. TURN THE THRUSTERS OFF by pressing 2. This is a safety measure to allow you to work on the ship without being injured as a result of thruster damage.
3: Turn the artificial mass on to prevent the ship from being bumped around as you work on it.
4. Press 3 to raise the ship up.
5. Leave the cockpit.

- Outside the ship:
1. Turn the thrusters off using the top button on one of the button panels near the rear wheels.
2. Raise the rotors using the bottom button on one of the button panels near the rear wheels.
3. Once you're done, repeat steps 1 and 2 to turn the thrusters on and lower the ship.
