    The team and myself is PROUD TO PRESENT THE SANDSTORM PERFORMANCE DUNEKICKER! :D

    SO EXCITED FOR YOU ALL TO DRIVE THIS ONE!



    From the art to the Jbeam and handling, a ton of work was put into this. It's like driving a couch on top of a waterbed on top of a cloud. ;)


    NEW VEHICLE: SP Dunekicker
    This desert truck is based on authentic purpose-built racing trucks and is as close to the real deal as you can get.

    ]Its wheelbase, track width, corner weights, engine power, and suspension geometry are all substantially influenced by real-world data and design input from several industry experts and baja racing hobbyists. When all of these elements are combined with the revolutionary bypass shock technology, this vehicle becomes the most accurate reproduction of desert truck handling and performance ever accomplished in BeamNG.

    I haven't been this excited for a truck since I saw the first Gavil in the early trailer for BeamNG. This truck is glorious, killer job in this new ride!

    Kinda happy this one is a full on race truck. If it was another street car derivative (like the D-Series), it would probably be limited by that. Instead, we have a proper thing.
    And the design cues are vague enough to make any car out of it, whether it be Hirochi or Bruckell.

    There isn't one because this is anything but a Stock Truck. It's a purpose-built Desert Race Truck, from the drivetrain up.

    So, really good vehicle, but there is one thing that ive noticed, i was using it on the new map and every now and then it starts lagging bad, only when using this vehicle too, i used it for a little longer and decided to try it on jri, italy and wcusa, and all 3 maps were lagging bad, even when using a different car, i cleared the cache and the lag vanished off wcusa and italy (edit: turns out jri is laggy by default).
    Any idea what could be going on?
    Edit: ive tried it a little more and found that for me atleast if i use it once every time i open up the game or a map it will slowly get laggier and laggier every time until you clear cache.
    Edit 2: removed all mods and it still happens

    Any chance of grabbing the UV for this thing? I saw the other new cars all have them in their content zips, but this one is not there.

    Hey, I realized when trying to put any size or variation of the UTR Voltaire rims with any tires the front wheels break off, and the rear wheels only visually (I think) break, and most of the center of the rim breaks.

    Modelling bugs. Missing faces on cage, and loose edge on spare tire mounts.

    Oh and the rear remote reservoir mesh is missing in game. I wouldn't have found it if I didn't try to reskin the shock lol. By the way, this is the most realistic vehicle in BeamNG imo. Thanks so much ! Love it !
