Description:
Info:

Hello all, this HVR truck is loosely based on the Rheinmetall HX series of military service vehicles. This particular one is a heavily modified version of my VH-66 flat bed two truck. It has a user operated crane that can lift quite a bit of weight. Its also equiped with deployable stabilizers for heavy loads. I also added a deployable skid lifter in the back but it doesnt really have much use right now. Its pretty much a big crane on a heavy truck. This vehicle is quite heavy and steers like a meteor so keep it at a low speed for better maneuverability. Hope you enjoy!
