After Havok first witnessed the RAMJET SUPERMOTOENDURO he knew he needed to get involved. He went to his dad's shop and began pulling parts together. Unfortunately he's a better pilot than mechanic. His brother on the other hand would rather turn a wrench than turn a steering wheel, so he gave Hayseed a call and told him the plan. Together they scavenged Ft. Wadsworth until they fould the remnant of a RAM, the final and most important part of the build. They worked nonstop for a week to make the deadline for the next race and with the paint still drying, they loaded the CHAOS into the back of one of their father's old relics and hauled it to the race. Maybe not the flashiest bike and maybe not the smoothest work, but maybe if they can win a little, they can take the CHAOS back to the shop and fix her up nicer, if they survive the race that is.

Introducing the Chopped Highly Articulated Offroad System

SPEED: 3
AGILITY: 3
DURABILITY: 5
FAVORABILITY: 4

Obviously based on their dad's HAVOC, the Blais brother, Havok and Hayseed gave the bike a lower and more steady stance with the small diameter, wide tires. The wheel base was stretched to add to on road stability. Folding wings were added so the bike is technically street legal. All weapons are merely cosmetic except for the "missiles" are for extra boost when needed. The main thrust is provided by the dual rocket engines mounted low on the sides of the gasoline engine. The gasoline engine propels the CHAOS when riding on ground and helps get the bike up to launch speeds faster than just using the rocket engines and boosters. The small drone is controlled by the one man pit crew of Hayseed and gives Havok a birds eye preview of the track on the console mounted to the dash of the CHAOS. Where many RAMJETs are based on speed, the brothers planned the CHAOS to be durable and with the added drone assistance, Havok can pilot the machine expertly and quickly with no sudden surprises.

Customizer notes:

I never intended to participate but after seeing the examples at JoeCon I got the idea for a HAVOC based RAMJET. The wings came from the VvV jet that came with Ace. The side rockets are cobbled together from Marvel SHS launchers and Micro Machine Podracers. The canopy came from some random exo suit for 2 inch figures. The front canon is BTR. The drone is cobbled together from a tiny monster truck I got from Dollar General, some ink pen caps and erasers for the hovercrafts and some pilots from those podracers for the engine and "driver". The motorcycle wheels came from some Maisto choppers that were terribly undersized for 3 3/4s. Had two destroy 4 of the so I could turn the single swing arm into dual forks for the front and rear. Bonus is I get real rubber tires and frames for four swamp skiers.

Time constraints are real as me and the wife leave for vacation tomorrow and I needed to get this posted before the 4th. The front cowl mods with Apoxy isn't the smoothest and I would have liked to work on a better logo in decal form, but painting was quicker. My sculpting with Apoxy needs works overall and I do hope to smooth the work out on this when I get back from vacation. Maybe the CHAOS will be in better form for the labor day race.

The driver is a modern day custom I did for my Joeverse as a homage to Cross Country that eventually became his son, codename: Havok. His brother was done for Custom Celebration years ago, based on the Battle Corps version and was my go to Cross Country but after looking at him for a while I decided to repurpose him as another Blais child, codename: Hayseed. There will be a new Cross Country to come.
