I wonder what the neighbour would say. lol

But seriously, how would you power it through the rough terrain some fields have?

Russianboy April 4th, 2006 15:14

"quad bike". LOL. Thats funny.

Yes That is what I'm thinking. But I think It will work well in big OP. Not the normal weekly game. I'm thinking of a madbull rocket.

You will need a powerfull truck and a lot of plywood and metal.
How will you pays for all that at 13 years old?

Russianboy April 4th, 2006 15:27

You have never been to south GA. It's very flat.

As for the $. It will go as a team project to it will cost me only like $300-$400 (USA)

Give the quad treads, if you plan on doing it.

vick April 4th, 2006 15:56

Good luck with the Tiger.

Russianboy April 4th, 2006 16:28

"quad treads". LOL. That quad thing you guys say is so funny.

Yes I will try to get some.

You've never heard of a quad?...



As for the "give it treads" should check out those new Polaris winter quads. Four seperate track systems. Bascially each wheel was replaced by a trianbular shaped track rigging. Pretty cool looking, how effective in speed I'm not sure, but I'll be it gets great traction and climbing power.

Ive seen em.. my pal for them for his ATV, you will never get stuck, but your atv is slow as hell with them compared to a sled and other vehichles.

In the US there called 4 wheelers.

It's just funny you call them that.

Bandit April 4th, 2006 19:36

One syllable is better than three. We use quad as a matter of efficiency.

Lol, you funny americans. 4-Wheelers? That could apply to any vehicle with 4 wheels? THis is a quad bike:

Now that one is 110cc, they go up to about 500cc. The better ones u get the more power the give. They are intended for speed but you could adjust the gear ratios to give more torque and slower speeds which is what a tank has. As a tank u don't really want it going faster than 25mph, some of those can go up to 60pmh though. They also have a strong roll-cage chasis so if it does god forbid tip over you stand a good chance of surviving. Retrofit one of those with some MDF or Plywood panels, those fancy triangular tracks in the previous post and slap a minimi on top and you've got a pretty authentic Airsoft tank.
