Armor and hit points:

Speed Racers come in two classes, Solo and Gunner. Solo cars all have 15 hit points and Gunners have 20. When a car reaches zero hit points, it is no longer running.

Armor has a numerical value, and will be deducted from damage dice rolled each time. For example, if a gun does 8 points of damage, and the target's armor value is 5; 3 points of damage is done to the target's hit points.

Speed and Movement

During the movement turn; one can accelerate, turn, brake, skid, coast - basically anything you can do in a car, you can do in a Brik-Kar.
Speed is defined by the number of car lengths your car travels in a given turn. All cars accelerate at up to their speed value per turn. Cars with blower systems, once activated, must accelerate at least one plus whatever bonus provided by the blower.
Vehicles brake at the same rate they accelerate. Note: Blower systems only affect acceleration, not braking.
Handling and effect success rolls must be made for major maneuvers, crashes, and weapon's effects.
The gamemaster will roll percentage (2 ten siders) against performance values, modifying with bonus dice. Rolling under the performance value will be a success.

Crashes

Crashing causes direct damage to the vehicle's hit points. Crash damage is determined by the cars speed. A car going speed 4 will cause 4 points of damage directly to the victims vehicle, bypassing armor considerations. Head on crashes cause damage to both vehicles.

If you fail a handling of effect roll, you crash crash. Effect damage from weapons are subject to armor considerations. Crashes reduce the speed of a car by 4 after knock on effects and damage are calculated.

Turn order:

1: Initiative 1D6 who goes first.
2: Movement - cars are accelerated, moved and turned. Handling rolls are made.
3: Firing - Weapons declarations, to hit rolls made, and damage.calculated.
4: Aftermath - Gamemaster resolves vehicle locations, conditions, and then effects.

(More to follow)

Combat:

To hit is determined by the gamemaster on a 2D6 roll. 7 or greater for light weapons, 9 or better for medium, and 10 or better for heavy weapons. Effect weapons automatically hit when run over/ into. Please note that vehicles with multiple weapon slots get that many attacks per turn.

Bonus dice:

Bonus dice may be used in a variety of ways, and must be announced at the beginning of the game.

1: Deduct 1D10 for each bonus die used to affect performance rating and handling rolls.

2: Add +1 to hit for each bonus die used for targeting.

3: Add +1 to base vehicle speed rating for each die used on vehicle upgrade.

4: Add +1 to armor value for each die used to improve defense.

Brik-Kar Specifications:

Solo: No more than 2.5" wide, 2 .5" tall, and 6.5" long.

Gunner: No more than 4.0" wide, 3.5" tall, and 7.5" long.


In the end, the gamemaster will have final say over all matters, with fun and destruction being the overall goals.

Comments or questions appreciated.

Weapon classes and damage considerations.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for your time!

Dude, this is very in-depth and ossum. I give you an instant Benny

Do you mind if I use these rules in an upcoming battle I have planned? I will be mashing infantry combat with war-Kars.

Sounds good to me!
Would you mind doing a live utube Brik-Kar duel? I'll give you choice of kars!

The link I had up has not been working...Will post more soon.
