I hadn't actually considered weight, but 200lbs
seems kinda heavy for a ~3ft long wooden tank. Frank and/or Will, how much
do your tanks weigh? what kind/how many batteries are you
using?
Also, I believe the tank has to be a certain scale,
at least according to the rules as I read them (Paras. 2.1 and 2.3) ... so
(if you care) you might want to check into that before you
progress too far ...

It will be a custom built for the design function and not scale
to a model.
It has to haul around compressed air, batteries, paintball
paint. I'm working hard to keep the overall weight under a design
goal of 200 lb in case it runs into someone or over someone. Might hurt
but not break bones.... About like being run over by another player.
I've seen the Air Soft cars. Just too small....

Chris and John,
If you are referring to the 1/25th scale Tokyo Marui series of tanks, or
their knockoffs, then you won't want to shoot paintballs out of
them. They are meant for the 6 mm plastic Airsoft
balls -- the paintballs will jam in them. I still haven't gotten
around to dis-assembling my JGDF Type 90 to clean it up. A real pain.

Well, I haven't the time to
build the king tiger I want...... so it's no for me right now. There
is however a cheapp alternative in a smaller scale from Japan, that is
only about $150.00 US and fires smaller caliber paintballs. It has
turret rotate, etc. Contact Paul March for more info as he has
purchased one. Sorry, but I can't find his email address, try asking
some of the 1/144th scale R/C warship combat guys, they might have his
address if you're interested in one.

So, is anyone besides the two on the
website actually building tanks? anyone near dayton, oh? I'm
getting ready to start on my Tiger I, so more (and more detailed)
pictures on the site would be appreciated.

The R/C tank combat list, that's who
the emails are addressed to. There haven't been many posts as of
late! Made me think the list was gone or something, until I got
that email from Brian.

I'd say Yes it's still
alive, but there haven't been too many posts to it
lately!

Hi,
My first message did not appear in the
archive, and no-one responded to it, so I don't know if the list
is still alive ... is it?
thanks,
/brian
