Yikes! Thats a lot of work. Looks cool though. I've not enough money to fund that sort of project.

I was interested in this also... But there are only a handful of guys in my area that do this. And getting them to share information is next to impossible.

How do the tanks "destroy" each other?

Are paintballs involved at all?

I love tanks.

Drum... Each tank is fitted with a paintball marker (integrated into the main cannon barrel) and the tanks do battle. The front is allowed to take unlimited shots while the sides can take 2 or 3 and the back is only allowed 1. If you go to the site linked above, there is a ton of information. If you have enough people, you work out tactics to flank the other tanks and fight for glory.

They "destroy" each other by scoring paintballs hits on other Vehicles how many hits (up to 4) is all up to the armor thickness for the real Vehicle, Front hits don't count for tanks but do for all other Vehicles.

For anyone interested ill give you any information you need or help you build one, the Guys on the form are a big help to

Ya Im low on money myself

good thing I have alot of left over parts from my Battlebot days

What scale are the supposed to be?

1/6 scale or smaller? If the former, I might finally have something to do with all those GI Joes and Dragon figures in my basement...

TARGET PRACTICE!

I was an ace on the Battlezone arcade game as a kid, so I am fairly confident that I could be a fine R/C tanker!

Do they have to be made out of metal?

I have a wooden Sherman tank that G-Father made for my Father during WW2. It was once a work of art, but after two generations of Taylor playtime, it is basically a a wood hull and a turret.
While possible blasphemous, it would not take much to hollow this solid wood to accept motor and running gear...

All told, I think my Sherman is about two feet long. Maybe slightly bigger.

Sounds like a fun Winter pastime...

In My Sights, i would be interested in working on a tank if you wanted to do one.
