Flying Wedge
A defense-oriented racing trike, the Flying Wedge usually outlasts its opponents, as it did when Melissa Karloff drove it to victory in the Destin 35.  Armor is adequate and the tires well protected, but offense is only provided by a single turreted machine gun.  In non-racing situations, it can usually disengage, but if it cannot, it might be in trouble unless it can find a weak spot on it's opponent.
    Flying Wedge: Light Trike, extra-heavy chassis, heavy suspension, super cycle power plant w/PC & SC, 3 SB solid tires, cyclist, 10 pt cycle wheelguard front, 2 10-pt wheelguards back.  Turreted MG, HRSWC,  heavy-duty brakes, anti-lock brakes, overdrive  Armor: F29, L29, R29, B29, T12, U9. Accel. 10/5 w/overdrive, top speed 135/155 w/overdrive, HC 2; 1,898 lbs, $14,307.

Spartan
A tough, no-frills compact made for the arena, it can also be seen often on convoy escort duty.  Armor is thick, but the wheelguards relatively thin.  If engaging this vehicle, stay out of the front arc and go for the tires.  Note however, that it has good speed, and good high-speed handling.
    Spartan: Compact, extra-heavy chassis, heavy suspension, super power plant w/PC & SC, 4 solid tires, driver, 2 5-pt hubs front, 2 5-pt guards back. VMG front , spoiler, airdam. Armor: F35(ramplate), L30, R30, B30, T2, U12. Accel. 10, top speed 145, HC 3/4 @60+; 4,440 lbs., $14,590.
