I think you saw links to all the "current" ones:

Car Wars Vehicle Designer - Excel spreadsheet.

MADHAT Duel Designer - Excel spreadsheet.

Car Wars Combat Garage - Web-based.

Oddly enough, the only one I use regularly is the CWVD; it's good for throwing together a dueling vehicle as long as you have a copy of Excel. If you have questions or problems, let me know.

The MADHAT one doesn't use macros, so if you don't have Excel but can use LibreOffice (or another capable spreadsheet application) it may work for you.

At least one of our players uses the Combat Garage sometimes; it seems OK, if even quirkier for being an online application with restricted viewports and whatnot.

Give them all a try and see what you think! :)
