Default Re: Thunderkit Fuel Cells -- A Thought

That's because originally trikes couldn't have chassis improvements (like cycles). The trike power plant was just enough to pull an X-Hvy trike with a 'standard' chassis. Of course the first generation of trikes were terrible and not worth the cost except as specialized OR vehicles. Then they added chassis mods and nobody did the math.

The easy fix - give the trike PP a slight (5-10%) power boost - its definitely within the spirit of the original rules.
