Well I did some things... it started as an accident trying to put the cannon into the box van but it proved surprisingly durable even when offroading, so I tried some other things. I tried putting the cannon partially in the box with it facing up for maximum range, but when shot it damages the roof so a new design was made, this was pretty much the same concept but with only the front wheels attached and the cannon outside the box, this allowed for adjustable vertical aim and more importantly the cannon actually functioned like this and in an impact the ball is less likely to come out. it also proved to be very durable like the other versions and I tested it by offroading from the drift track to the actual offroad track then doing the second half of the lap before realizing anorther problem the boxvan platform has, it's so tall that it didn't fit under the start finish line, it also didn't have the best handling or speed, so I made yet another varient, this time not on the boxvan platform. this time I mounted it on a track barstow with raised suspension and the drag engine, it had much better grip and handling than I expected(the grip was probably from having a massive cannon on the back and racing slicks but it still felt much better than I expected) and there was just one last thing I wanted to do after that... it was a bit hard getting the cannon centered enough for it not to tip the pidgeon or not only bottom out one side of the suspension and it was barely able to even move but that wasn't enough to keep me from making a pidgeon with a huge cannon on it this time the cannon was centered and half of it was off the pidgeon to take less weight off of it, and it also had the added benefit of giving it rear wheel steer and better acceleration.
I got a PM from nad telling to stop. I was expecting it, but jeez, some people really should get a better sense of humour. Screenshot will be posted ASAP, dont have access to pc atm
