The unique tracked vehicle driven by the Bullet Farmer, known as "The Peacemaker" was considered the most dangerous and problematic vehicle on set. It was constructed by mating a Ripsaw tank chassis with a Valiant Charger body. Despite extensive development, the vehicle still had severe problems with braking and engine cooling. The original diesel engine was replaced with a water cooled Merlin V8, which was itself replaced by a Chevrolet 502 V8 when the former was destroyed after ingesting sand on set. A complete redesign of the brake and cooling systems was required to make the vehicle usable on set. Like many of the vehicles used in the film, The Peacemaker was crushed after production concluded.
