Some Amazing Little Vehicles
by Norman McMullen
We all know what autoduellists do most of the time, but what do they do to relax besides watching holovision? In the 2030s there had to be amusement parks for duellists and families to go to. Of course, the parks had to be duelling orientated. Among all the games and rides you'll find a small arena and race track set aside for go-carts, mini-cars and bumper cars. These are perfect for kids and adults who want to practice there duelling skills.
Go-Karts: These have been updated with stronger chassis and a good handling class because of their low slung body styles. Usually not more than five feet long, two wide, and two high they are capable of speeds of 40 mph + and may be purchased either as kits or in completed forms.
| Cost | Weight | Max Load | Spaces | Armor |
| $125 | 150 lbs | 525 lbs | 3 | 10/4 |
Go-karts have a HC of 3, uses micro power plants or small engines, and micro tires. They have five armor locations: front, left, right, back, and under. Cycle power plants can be used to power go-karts too.
| Size | Cost | Weight | Spaces | DP | Power |
| Small | $250 | 50 lbs. | 1 | 1 | 200 PF |
| Large | $325 | 75 lbs. | 1 | 1 | 300 PF |
| Cubic Inch | Cost | Weight | Spaces | DP | PF | MPG |
| 5 | $300 | 25 | 1 | 1 | 200 | 90 |
| 20 | $600 | 55 | 1 | 1 | 400 | 75 |
| 40 | $800 | 85 | 1 | 2 | 600 | 65 |
| 75 | $1,875 | 135 | 2 | 5 | 1,000 | 55 |
| Type | Cost | Weight | DP |
| Standard | $50 | 10 lbs. | 1 |
| Solid | $100 | 20 lbs. | 2 |
Mini-Cars: These are small replicas of cars, planes, boats, etc, used in advertising and are definitely attention getters. Mini-cars come in three chassis sizes and their armor may be molded into different styles at no extra cost.
| Size | Cost | Weight | Max Load | Spaces | Armor |
| Light | $150 | 175 lbs. | 600 lbs. | 4 | 10/4 |
| Medium | $175 | 200 lbs. | 700 lbs. | 5 | 11/5 |
| Heavy | $200 | 250 lbs. | 800 lbs. | 6 | 12/6 |
The HC of mini-cars is 3 and they have six armor locations like a normal car. Mini-cars cannot mount turrets, EWPs, and REWPs. They may be powered by cycle, micro power plants, or small engines. They also use micro tires.
Bumper-Cars: These are specially designed cars that can withstand impacts for the sides and come in one chassis size. Bumper-cars have a HC of 4 and armor locations are the same as go-karts. They also use the same power plants, engines, and tires as go-karts.
| Cost | Weight | Max. Load | Spaces | Armor |
| $100 | 125 lbs. | 500 lbs. | 3 | 10/4 |
Bumper-cars, because of their special construction and shock-absorbing bumpers, can withstand up to 15 mph collisions to their fronts, sides, and rears without damage. Any collision above 15 mph subtract 15 from it and figure accordingly. Bumper-cars take a D2 hazard in any collision.
All vehicles listed use a 1/2" x 1/2" counter.
Duelling: Most duelling in these is done with handweapons or light vehicular weapons. Targeting penalties are -2 to any side and tires are at -5 to target.
