  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    ha, tracks would probably be one of the easiest parts!

    Imagine the sight of a dozen or so of those tanks thundering across the agricultural plains of North County Dublin at the break neck speed of 15MPH! Still would give the Cavalry a run for their money :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Jaysus I want one of those. Can you get it in King Tiger configuration ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,401 ✭✭✭Arcto

    4.1 tons? WTF! The only way is if it is armoured, and whats the bloody point?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    4.1, i sincerly doubt that. The whole thing would need to be full of sandbags to make it that heavy. Even armoured for PB guns it'd be way less.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Hivemind187


    Was it weighed before or after NOIP got in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Be Nice:D

    Gonna request a quote, might cash out my savings, just for the novelty of having a tank:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 405 ✭✭cpb


    Manufacturer was on radio yesterday will be selling for 9800 stg selling mainly to paintball sites but can be modified to mount what you like on it and they are developing a two person one.

    Driving lessons?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,010 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    Newspaper said 4.1 ton's which seemed a little excessive. More likely a case of Irish journalism.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Skid Driving = Childs play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,397 ✭✭✭Evolute


    Driving lessons?
    First hes gotta be legal to drive:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Probably more like 1.4 tonnes, if that. And most of that would be the tracks and engine. I doubt the "armour" is anything more than 16gauge steel or 2021 aluminium.

    The insurance quote would be epic.

    "Is it a 4 wheel drive?"
    "Not exactly"
    *price hike*
    "So it's rear wheel drive then"
    "Well it doesn't actually have wheels"
    *price hike*
    "Will it be parked in a secure location?"
    "It'll generally be in a forest"
    *price hike*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Well I'm 17 in march but if its classified as farm equi. i need to be 18 for roads. A 3 year old can drive em on private property though:p

    a couple of m60s and a desert storm paint job, and you've got yourself a mini Chenowth

    some of the buggys linked are road legal :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Ok, change of plan: Start simple:
    a204655-v6.jpg

    Something like above but as a turret with an armoured plate. Basically, take an industrial swivel chair, add base for feet, bolt on tubular steel frame, add 2x 249 with Custom mag extensions and Upgradded barrell(Whats the longest AEG barrel???). Add Armoured plate and batt pack. Paint.:D
