Here's one of my nasty Division 10 arena Compacts :

SMASHER '56 : Compact , X-hvy Chassis , Imp. suspension , Medium power plant w/PCs , 4 SBHD tires , Driver , ATG w/APFSDS ammo front , SWC , Sloped Plastic Armour : F50 , R40 , L40 , B40 , T13 , U10 , 2-5pt Wheelguards back . 2-5pt hubs front . Accel 5mph , Top speed 90mph , HC 2 , 4,378lbs. , $9,460

This design has gone through a number of changes since 1989/2039 - I've removed the metal armour as the composite wasn't tough enough to stop a ATG APFSDS shot ! Instead I swapped for cheaper tires and downgraded the suspension to give me those extra spare dollars . Again another tough to hit target ; -3 to hit from front and back , and -2 to hit from sides .
With my arena cars , I try to leave $400 and 30lbs weight to spare , so I can take a set of Body Armour and a Portable fire extinguisher - this has saved my butt many times !

( MUST remember that tyres and armour are spelled tires and armor in the US ! )
