Designer Notes
The Racer Iguana variant was designed to match the speed profile of its Northern counterpart, the Cheetah. The Racer is also a test-bed for a new armor material dubbed durium. A composite lattice of armoplast and carbon fibers developed by Roland System Werks, durium is lighter and much more rigid than standard armoplast or durasheet. Durium lattices are somewhat fragile, however, and shocks tend to loosen or destroy an unacceptable amount of armor. The design flaw remains unresolved, keeping during from the mainstream military market, but it did provide an acceptable amount of protection for the Racer Iguana. The weapons load of the racer was also downgraded to further lighten the Gear, leaving it with only a MPGU-22 Pack Gun for defense. The secondary movement system assembly of the Iguana was also reworked for the Racer, along the same lines as the Dartjager, with large rugged tires and crash bars mounted on the knees. This provides the Racer with excellent performance over desert sand and rough ground. Additional durium plates cover the tires to avoid unnecessary damage to the SMS.
