Argo to Wargo Conversion
 

There's no vheicles section so I'm not sure where to put this...

This is our argo. And with a little paint and wood and steel...

it turned into a WARGO !!!

We used it for the first time this weekend at the LZ in Ottawa. It was awseome! The Wargo even included a hatch over the passenger seat and a raised seat so the passenger can shoot back.

To see all our pictures check out warmongers.ca

Needs a cow grill and a .50 cal but other then that, it's pretty bitchin.

I can just see you trying to explain that one to your wife...

"No honey, the minivan is parked in the driveway, the garage is for the Wargo"

Apoc is a little too crazy to ever get married. Or get engaged. Or even get a long term girlfriend even. Oh well, he claims it's a LOT cheaper that way, more money for airsoft. :lol:

Ya, the Wargo is great to haul extra gear, ammo and water around with. Still pushing to put a pintle mount on top for his M249 SAW, at least just for "looks cool" factor!

I sooo want an argo... I've wanted one for years... Hmmm maybe I can trade my minivan for one.

Or you could duct tape a pair of skateboards to the underside of your mini-van?

nice argo.. wargo!

thoses things are fucking nice!
We have 3 people here that have one. Raven, Vondnick and laser. All of them are real buity and beast of the field.

If it was not the price, I'd have one too. I would still need a new car and trailler to tow it to the field.
$$$$$$

vry sweet

Did you guys have any real world inspiration behind the design? It looks a bit like a queen mary extended m113. Also any performance issues with the extra frame and skin or is the motor taking it all in stride?

Some issues regarding the new aggressive tires and the brakes getting along well together, Apoc is still working out the bugs. Including the driver, can't carry more than 2-3 people in the back at a time, we've only used it once with lots of cool effect (like inserting guys behind haybails outside the base that the team with the Wargo is attacking) to driving right up to the towers at the LZ and attempting to insert guys there.

As far as the shape of it, what you see in the first picture is the roll cage that the Argo came with, they decided to make minor adjustments to it as far as crossbars go, then shape the plywood around it. Little too square for my liking, but hey, its not mine and it works just fine!

Here are a few more!.... Argos lead the Way, lol

Man, Rawdon was the single best airsoft expereince I've had to date (ok, except the last LZ game)! Can't wait til next year!

how much for the entire project?

My wife gave me the Thumbs up to go ahead and buy one as long as I take her on a warm vaction this winter.

I am aiming for the 8wheel version as well. Looking at some sorta TANK or LAV configuration.

I want to mount ofcourse one of my air cannon and probably my .50 and maybe my 60' on it too. hehe

Glad to see other people doing similar projects.

That Wargo is Very nice, although the cadpat design is a little BIG.. but very Hawt

BawBag, you dare, I provide!

Hehe

Nice, but why did you paint green Tetris blocks all over it? :-D

I'm working on a golf cart right now, but doing the exact opposite thing. I'm lowering it and putting the crappiest Canadian Tire bling on it I can find. I even found spinners for 8" golf cart rims. Maybe I should change and make it an assault vehicle instead... :???:

Stop giving Idea's! Giving 2cents is just going to make the Warmongers get more stuff.
:-D

BAH! IT was no match for the little red suzuki! hehehe

The "wargo" (f-argo!) was pretty damn cool though, it'll be awesome when the kinks are worked out. Trees in the way? BAH! :) The tetris block camo worked out really well though, if it weren't for the "end of the world" sound it made, it'd make a nice little stealth insertion tool...

awesome wargo, i bet it would be cool going into battle in an apc. maybe ill paint my yz green and add a cage.

It's all about mounting an airsoft Mk19 nade launcher, like the hummers.....ooooo niiicee

yah, the Wargo was great. Assaulting the towers at the LZ proved to be difficult, but totally fun.
Rough ride through the bush, metal bodies are a must if you dont want them smashed around inside.

Dude - where do you think they got the inspiration from? They were all at OP QuickPass just like you were. Maybe you should hang out and actually MEET the people that post here a little more. We don't bite!

Well, I dunno about APOC...

Ponch, Fox & I were actually hoping to meet up at some point during the day, but never got a chance to. At least Aper surrendered to us mid-day to meet me and some of the rest of us. Overall was good to meet some of the guys I see on ASC. Fox, next time! Lol

We love you, Blasty. Really - we do. You rock, bro.

All is fair in love, war(sim) and airsoft props! :nod:

Yes, and Blastyman has some of the best looking and more interesting toys out there!

Heh heh hehe... That's awesome John!

I've been looking around for things to do to one of my quads and the coolest one I've found so far was:

So if all goes as planned this spring, we'll have one or two of these on the field:)

It's in my plan to go to games outsite Québec. I tried this summer but I lacked time.

I keep an eye on other provinces games too. Next summer, my team and I hope to attend a few games "over the boarder".

Th LZ near Ottawa is not too far of a drive for you (looks like Dirty Deeds, Malfrat and otehrs are coming up here for a big game Oct. 15th), is a great field and has a bunch of good players, lots of fun! Beats driving an addition 3-5 hours to go play in the Toronto area (meaning the extra driving time would be a bummer for him, not that the fields there suck).

Someone was asking about cost. Well start with a 1977 argo. I'm not sure what the cost was on that but this is what went into it

30' of 1" Square Steel tubing $1.85/ft
4 sheets inf 5/8th plywood $28 each
Primer, Paint, etc approx $100
1 4x8 sheet of heavy duty screen $50
Misc hardware (handles latches, screws, bolts, etc.) approx $100
8 new Tires $50 each
putting the tires on the rims $10 each
Carb cleaning and rebuild $$ unknown

Plus your gonna needa Mig Welder and some heavy duty tools to use self tapping screws into hardened steel, a drill press came in handy too. And to top it all off it took about 80 to 90 man-hours of labour and a few beers to get it all together. but very worth while...


Check the Gallery HERE to see how it all went together.

Having a pretty cool assault vehicle: Priceless!

try to take one of that monster! IT killed my whole squard ! good game on LZ tho !

We would have like to come but we have a big games ( Resident evil style ) With zombie and mutant and undead.

This is our last game of the year at zone 27 airsoft.

Maybe later or next year.

J-F

Sorry, forgot about that. Wasn't aware of the date though. Regardless, I'd love to see you boys up here next year.
