Slicks vehicle is a pretty good all-rounder, with both reasonable armour and speed ratings. However, iy is also 'chunkier' than other all-rounders and this makes it an easier target for weapons like the 'Buckshot'. The flipside of this is that it has ramming potential, especially when up against weaker all rounders. Overall, the Clydesdale is pretty good, but many players prefer the faster and lighter all-rounders. However, Clydes weapon means that you don't need to be near opponents to nail them...
Special
White Lightning
When Slick originally found this large 'rod' at Site-4, he had no idea it was a lightning inducing apparatus. He just thought it was a cool looking antenna! Its charge can fry an electrical system!
Clydes weapon fires bolts of electricity at the targeted vehicle, inflicting damage ans very often causing them to stall. The main diffence is that you don't need to be anywhere near you're enemy when you fire! It has a virtually unlimited range and can hit enemies anywhere in the arena. However, vehicles with good avoidance can often ourun the bolts, as they zap the ground behind them. Therefore, the lightning is most effective against either larger targets (hence low avoidance) or vehicles that you know are relatively stationary. // As with Chassey's weapon, the attack is twofold - once the inital bolts hit, they may stall the enemy and in this case, you shoul get in there and cause some havoc! Even better, if there's a car pile-up, target one of the cars in the middle and let rip - other cars will probably get hit by stray lightning bolts! You can also use the Bear Hug combo for the mines to trap an opponent, then unleash the lighning and watch their car get mashed! // Finally, some advice if you're up against the Slickster. The easiest way to avoid his lightning is to drive as fast as possible in a straight line. It's pretty easy to detect an incoming clyde-special, because he shous 'Lightning!' as it's fired. When you hear this, it's time to make a move, so fire up an interceptor Afterburner and get outta there - at worst you'll probably get a couple of minor scrapes.
