DCAG's Tank (half track)

[mmiles]

To my knowledge the first in SC. We started last summer and have worked on it off and on but last week we set a deadline to get it 95% done by Friday and here it is , The car was given to me because it was crashed nothing wrong with it other than a busted windshield and deployed airbags but it was not worth getting it legal again so.

390 degree turret?  ;)
How well does it handle off roading?

Pretty sweet looking though! 

[python575]

freaking awesome, hope to see this at a game soon

You should bring it to White Noise II. An APC will help in the urban areas

[Dominum]

So it can traverse 30 degrees into the 5th dimension? Sweet.

Well, I guess this means we are going to have to come up with standard vehicle rules as well now...

Nice work BTW, it turned out well IMO.

I was thinking about the tank rules from fluda gap but i don't know how easy it will be to transport but we will see

[Gambler]

Looks like you guys did a great job on it

[Bushmaster]

Looks like a good addition to OP White Noise II.

[IronChef]

best looking freshcourt wagon i have seen in awhile....hope the ac and radio works!
heck its SOUTH carolina, you should be able to put a tag on it and drive it there!
call it a parade float

[Tanker]

In the state of SC, if you classify it as a Rec vehicle (4 wheelers, dirtbikes, etc.) All you need is break lights, headlights, and the ability to signal a turn, which can be done with an arm. That is what I was told 3 weeks ago by Richland County, someone want to verify?

[Dominum]

I think that is just for title and taxes, that probably doesn't make it street legal. In any case, even if it were, I highly doubt it would do well driving on an Interstate.

[Echo1 Operator]

How are you going to keep it from overheating?

[Dominum]

^Good point.

I was thinking about the tank rules from fluda gap but i don't know how easy it will be to transport but we will see

We are in the process of developing AOSCs standard vehicle, heavy weapons, pyro, and special weapons rules.

Our first test showed a small amount of heat increase but i hope after changing all the fluids it will not heat as bad. But we decided we would run it X amount of time and open the hood to cool it for X times but it was not a issue at the field trails
