Potato Bean Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The Sandking XL is one of my favorite vehicles. It has decent handling, is great off road, and best of all... You can plow through players vehicles with it. I find myself driving my Sandking more than any other vehicle. I don't kill people, I just drive around and plow through them with it. The feeling when you send an adder flying through the air at 20mph is great. I would post a picture of mine but I don't know how :| P.S. People, please stop putting high end/sports rims on your Sandkings, it looks hideous. MadHaTT3R and ten-a-penny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Lynx 23 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That you can drive a Sandking XL into a subway station and go right over the barriers that'll stop any other vehicle in also good. MrCamo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyharwood Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I wouldn't say they are the best for ramming and such, it's quite easy to flip a sandking xl or not when you use a turismo or cheetah, works best when you aim for the tires head on, especially funny when you get someone coming straight at you thinking he will own and ends up on his roof as it has quite high ground clearance. IMO a mammoth patriot is better in terms of ramming, especially customised ones as they are basically just rocks with wheels. ten-a-penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHaTT3R Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Im pretty sure the rear is bullet proof with the cab as well. I have a cab and never get shot from behind or even the rear sides. No pic available, Ill post one later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find the data for vehicles quite easily through google, modders have found them, and some people can change them with iso mods (e.g so a car weighs as much as a tank).

Sandking = 2400KG Patriot= 3500KG Packer & Phantom (Semi Truck Tractors) = 12,000KG Ever tried turning a partiot? Its a land barge. Not sure if this is true, but from my experience they are also incredibly weak in terms of strength. I've tried ramming with alot of other vehicles, but none of them seem to have the same effect as the sandking does. I'll try out the patriot tomorrow and see if its any good. Its not just about ramming, though. The clearance can be useful, I use it all the time to drive over guard rails and walls in general. Its ramming ability probably comes mostly from its height. The point of impact is higher than that of normal vehicles, so its much easier to flip over vehicles instead of just ramming them and pushing them 10 feet.

Irish O'African Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I do like the Sandking, but sadly it is not 50/50 4WD. I much prefer my Rancher XL. I honestly think the Sandking is overrated and that is why I don't have one. It is good for climbing over high rocks but it really is not that GREAT offroad.

Irish O'African Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I really wish they would make the 4wd stronger. It would be nice. I think, if I am not mistaken, the Dubsta and the XL have better 4WD ratios. I just dislike the fact the XL is less rare now, WAY less rare since they sell it.

Potato Bean Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Earler today I found and fully upgraded a patriot to test it out... Its obviously heavier, but really all it does it push vehicles about 20 feet. The Sandking is more dramatic in its ramming. I also noticed the patriot has horrible braking and understeers like no other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a vehicle worthy of the title: I want to be able to customize and store a Phantom SOOOO bad... Patriot and Bohdi may weigh more but the SK excels at ramming because of the higher point of impact. The King hits most vehicles in their upper half and throws the wheels up. The Patriot and Bohdi hit lower on the doors much closer the the center of gravity and results in more slides rather than flipping the target. Also, those two are still subject to being hemmed in by guardrails and low walls. Edited April 19, 2014 by JiNX77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
