Wanna Buy "Greta" The Airsoft Tank?

OptimusPrime

This tank has seen action since 2006 and the owner now wants to sell it to someone who would lovingly take care of it and put to good use... "The tank is currently for sale. It's still running great, but I'm not utilizing it like I used to and I think there is someone out there who would enjoy it as much as I have, and even might take it to the next level. If you are interested, please send me a message.

This is what I refer to as an Airsoft Armored Vehicle, or basically a big toy tank, Codename: Greta. It is the second of two tank vehicles I'm restoring. This tank is co-owned by Airsoft Arms and Red Dragon Paintball (www.reddragonpaintball.com).

These tanks were originally mass produced as a ride for amusement parks for a game called 'Tank Battle'. There are also boats made from a similar design for boat battle games. The main body is built out of fiberglass and plywood and sits on a basic square steel tube frame which were custom build for these tanks. These arren't cars, lawn mowers or golf carts, and are a completely original design and are unfortunately difficult to find spare/replacement parts for. The drive system conists of an 18hp gasoline engine which drives an air pump for the canon and a hydraulic pump for the rear wheels. Hydraulic fluid is regulated to turn the wheels forward or backward. The front canopy opens up for the driver to sit, and the turret rotates 360 degrees and fires raquetballs about 100-150 feet. This particular tank can also be refitted with a water cannon for soaking your friends, or a support gun like an M249 airsoft rifle for certain games! It can carry two people; a driver and a turret gunner. It is used in conjuction with a referee at airsoft events and can be "destroyed" using mines, satchel charges, RPG's or rocket lauchers (like a nerf football launcher) or by other scenario specific ways.

Contrary to popular belief, or that to people who just don't read this desciption, I did not built this myself, but am simply restoring the old ones I've been able to find.
