Picture this: there’s a little box at the back of your vehicle, usually hidden from view. These can be deployed just by pushing a button on the dashboard. ARMORMAX® deploys this system in your vehicle in a way that tacks disperse remotely from behind the rear wheels of your vehicle to deflate the following vehicle.
Now, when a car drives over these spikes, it punctures the tires. That means the car can’t go very far without getting flat tires, which slows it down or stops it altogether. It’s like giving the bad guys a surprise they won’t forget!
