i really like it, although theres not much to comment on at this point, i mean we don't know the design, so we can't even crit how the tire will work with you're enviroment......

Ok, half of it enviroment includes sand and loose dirt. Like beaches and deserts. The other half, the part you have not seen any of yet, will allow it o go under water, and serve as a sub.

Does my wheel need more detail, and if so...what?

Wheels have been slighty modified and upgraded. They have been arranged and added to axils. I have 'colored' them. No real textures yet. I doubt I will ever have some. Here they are in perp and top view.

I have also decided to change my vehicle to Land-Water to Land-Air. Here are the wheels in fly mode.

haha, I forgot about that brian. I didnt remember that teh Back to the Future car flew in the last movie. Im so glad you liek the idea. Now im having trouble coming up with a body. But... I have 3 weeks.

Question: If I dont texture it, and some one with just as good of a model does texture theirs, would they then win??

It just may do that. I was thinking about that. Havn't decided. If I make an open cockpit, then for obvious reasons, that wouldn't be possible.

Mike pointed out something. Im afraid the rules say that I can only eb for one enviroment. So unless this is an exception, it will have to be land and air only. (land for landing and take off purposes. Plus the obvious fact that there are some places & conditions it would be better to drive than fly.)
