• Spare Tires

Description: Extremely lightweight and fast with a large cannon that can be changed across the board for different situations. From a high powered cannon built to destroy most everything to a rapid fire turret for handling crowds. Or a launcher firing buckshot of magnetic caltrops to attach to the hull and plating of different hostile vehicles and slower moving starships. The ground vehicle is also able to be weighted down with a little more equipment, mostly additional gear for some of the situations and emergencies should they need it. The small frame however does not provide much in the way of transport for larger groups, four people at the most and most dangerous could work but it is not recommended with the fourth perched on the rail between the turret and its bed in the back and the forward. The side seat passenger and navigator is made for the passenger or vips while the usually two man teams can get out quick for scout recon.

Top Speed: 350 KM/H

this is way way to fast for a wheeled vehicle. It should be more along the lines of 75 to 100 kph max.

That seems very very low given both the universe and how we have production vehicles able to meet the same top speeds with some even exceeding them. IN the star wars universe vehicle technology easily exceeds our own and while going that speed wouldn't be smart as a lot of danger. Them reaching that as a top speed should easily be possible.

what you are designing is somethign like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_General_BRV-O
it is 112 Kph so I figure you could push this to 125 but that would be the fastest. this is an armored vehicle not a car. you want to strip it down to 1 cm body and no weapons and put non off road tires on it, sure it can be faster. these are built for torque not speed. geared low to make up for the larger diameter wheels and tires. Wheels with that much diameter would be murder on high gears and you would have something that takes 20 minutes to get to top speed.

So make it 125 kph. that is still faster than any wheeled armored vehicle I know of.
