There is no computer system running the unit as such, most of the dash is nonfunctional of course, as it is a movie vehicle, not a road,ready vehicle which is to be used as one would expect . . .It can and is driven on the road of course in NZ, and was driven on the road here in NSW (Australia) . . . as it met all the basic requirements for registration.

The steering is unique, and is a power-assist rack-n-pinion based system. Which can be switched from normal front wheel steer, rear wheel steer, both front and rear wheel steer, to sideways steer, to enable the crab-like steering it does. Which I might add, felt rather strange being in when it was enabled. They simply stop,, enable the hydralic engagements system, and the steering system is changed all from the drivers seat.

It has a decent top speed on the highway, but, like many off-road vehicles, it gets rather noisy and ruff at full pelt on the ‘flat-tops’.

I ‘think’ the chassis is something like 3″x2″ box steel, but don’t hold me to that. Again, ask the guys at Weta . . . .

Hope that helps a little?

The gun alone cost $NZ25,000 to make so best of luck, as the one shown here is a replacement made here in Australia, as the original (which cost the $25k) was not allowed to be brought into the country due to Customs Laws. It’s a pale comparison to the real thing sitting in NZ waiting to be put back on when the ‘hog went home. The structure of the ‘hog was so solid, that in the movie clip, where you see it break through a concrete barrier, was actually done, he only addition they added for that scene was a plexiglass cover for the windscreen and sides opening, so as to protect the actors in the clip. What you see it doing in that movie clip, is Real-Life, not film CGI make believe . . . So I wish you well.
