Of course it was doubtless designed under the old ramplate rules which were far more effective and it would have been viable even with only a 2/3 damage modifier. If it was operating off-road it would have benefitted from improved attack aspects (since it could come in at you from the sides of the road) and if you followed it you would likely be at a disadvantage (since the OR modifications were also quite new).

It doesn't HAVE to have an upgraded chassis (and of course it couldn't under the original rules). As it stands it is still 90lb under its max load (rather than the 5lb that is stated).

If you did uplift the chassis you are at liberty to fit a 100cid gas plant (there is plenty of space) and that allows you over 4000lb at less cost than upgrading the super trike plant. I'd also be putting in CA as it provides the best armour/cost-weight return (and we have plenty of space).
