Jameson Manufacturing Dolichotis

Having recently been awarded a military contract, Jameson Manufacturing is expanding its development base beyond the standard luxury market. Are you the sort of person who asks why the government should get all the nice toys? Look no further than the Dolichotis which utilizes proprietary hardware spun off from R&D intended to produce the next generation of front line scouts. Quiet as a whisper and capable of speeds over 120 kilometers per hour when loping across open terrain, the Dolichotis sets the high-water mark for adventure and is perfect for hunting game animals greater than 3 tonnes.

 

Okay. I like spindly things too much. This guy is prone to wobble and shear at the not-so-reinforced knees. Sill, he holds together well enough and serves as a decent proof of concept for the design you see in the rear of the chassis. Also, I finally seem to have gotten the proportions on this limb style correct. The name comes from one of my favorite rodents, the mara.
