Wpp Tank - See What You Think......

This is our tank we built for our scenario games at Wanna-Play. It is based off a 6 wheeler chasis, we fabricated a top cap which is removal able. The gun at present is not operable, but we are working on that......

That's really small. How many people ride in it? What armament does it have?

Cool little tank, but looks a bit small as stated. But i guess with that size of a chassis it seems like you did well with what you had to work with.

real nice. i built one on a 6x6 also. Post your pic in the tank pic thread.Anyone that says its not big enough doesnt know anything about Tanks. No offense. Small,manuverable,all terrain, small target, easy to hide id say those are all good qualities

Not bad. I have went up against one of the six wheel tanks. I got my butt kicked. Just because its facing away from you, doesnt mean it cant turn on a dime and be facing you in 1/4 of a seconds time...

Good choice for a tank. Have fun, be safe!

It can carry 2 players on board. Small.....yes, but it can go just about anywhere and like JESTERTLS said it can turn on a dime....Thanks for the input, BOSS

Excellent job. Love the 6x6 based tanks. They have all the qualities that a great paintball tank should possess, just like BlackAngel pointed out. Small and maneuverable are KEY. Speed really isn't much of a factor since all tanks are limited to walking speed. A full 360 rotating turret is really good for watching your Six, but those things can turn on a dime that certainly helps out.

Anyone who says small is bad has never been a PB tanker. Small is the best. Hard to hit, can get into places on the field the larger tanks can't. They do what paintball tanks really do best, support the ground pounders. The larger tanks, especially the near replica ones, are cool looking but they are easy targets and typically can't go on the field where most of the action is. When you are limited to clear trails it's easy for RPG teams to pick you off. All-terrain is where it's at.

Good job!
