Do you want to add your own vehicle?
Please see the Vehicle Framework Wiki for details. Here's the #1 reason this is good: the file which implements the Atrama is only 400 lines long. All you need to do is point the Vehicle Framework to certain GameObjects in your model. Please see the Atrama Github Repository for an example.
