Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! MAX[]
In the manga, the Desert-Golem is a off-road-orientated racing machine.
It has the lift-type active suspension system on the front and the caterpillar-like wheel-switching system on the rear. The Desert-Golem's bodyshell itself is also very tough, as it didn't receive any damage from the attacks by the Kusanagi brothers' cars. It also has unusual high amount of torque which, combined with its toughness, allowing the car to push any heavy objects.
