61mech: I noticed that front angle and thought the same-but mainly the bolded! I swear sometimes I think every Saffa with a matric and his uncle designs MRAPs in his free time! Its true,yours are rated higher than western analogues but at what point does 'overproduction,' kick in and then you can't give them away. IJS. 1 Like |

GreenandGold:yeah but doesn't compensate for the poor approach angle. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by GreenandGold: 12:12pm On Sep 20, 2018 |
jln115: The approach angle is good, the front wheels are far forward. The only concern is that low bumper where the registration plate is at, its unnecessary. |

61mech: The original Marauder and Casspir are my all time fav MRAPs! Protection,mobility and power are the best,though imo the Marauder is also a sexy byatch. There was a pic of a Casspir arse deep in mud somewhere in E DRC pulling out another Cass. |
