What this mod does
The Trackfab Brawler is an extreme off-roader with a compact tube chassis, a big-block V8 and two solid axles. Its author, TrackpadUser, jokingly calls it a «crawler contraption», and it’s one of the most capable rock-climbing vehicles on the Repository.
What’s included
- Crawler: 42-inch tires, lockable differentials, a low-power engine, wheel weights and variants with four-wheel steering.
- Formula: inspired by formula offroad racing, with an upgraded V8, locked differentials, paddle tires and nitrous oxide.
- Brawler: 42-inch tires, locked differentials and an upgraded V8, built for rock bouncing.
- Four-wheel steering with modes (opposite, front only, rear only or crab) or independent rear steering, with its own keys and optional analog input.
Requirements
It needs two free mods by the same author: Racetec Universal Racing Parts and Trackfab Modular Offroad Wheels. Without them, most variants end up with no gauges or no wheels.
Compatibility and tips
Version 2.42 is from July 2025, and the mod page doesn’t specify a game version. 2025 reviews describe it as a crawler that nothing can stop. The independent steering has no filtering, so it responds faster: practice in a quiet area before heading for the rocks.
