Beaster Box Van 4L 174 Fr Ram,HMG, Ri GG, Le GG, Re GG Relatively weak armor.

Just looted one of these thanks to Mad Mike's Mortar Magnificence, any recommendations on it's disposition? I can vendor it for 35K, but I hate to sell something only to need to buy it back for more later. The max armor per facing is 24 per side. I'm having trouble imagining a good use for it as I don't have sufficient escorts for it yet. It would be nice to have to deliver goods to the Slack Shack, though.

I'd put a keg in the back, strip off the tires armor and weapons and install a disco ball. Instant gang bar. The pole in the middle is optional depending on your tastes. More of a pub atmosphere? Or just a throw down, knock the walls out dive?

You should get at least double the vendor price on the player market, if you're going to sell it. It's possible to run unescorted box vans, although it works better with a 5L engine. Add some dropped weapons and run like hell. Scout skill 50 or better recommended to try and stay out of ambushes.

I ran my 5L box van alone with a sub 40 scout and made it away easily, but if some scorps get you... run even more than hell.
if you know how they handle though, they're easy to get away with. I have a 5L V8 one now which I run offroad all the time.

A armour with  5 litre (nothing less) with escort everytime and GOOD scout m running to SS camps only

I am saying this because it is posted in the newbie column and it is also true.
Everyone takes trader losses early on
This is greedy overkill for a newb , like taking a carrier van into a straight fight.Greedy.
Fight lean and mean . Run lean and mean.

I would flog it.

Run a 3.2L pickup for a while. Great way to raise scout skill.Carry a rifle.
