Tom Laferriere Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 OK, this has got the be the ultimate toy possible. This is a running and driving and shooting tank! From what I understand, this was a former amusement part ride, I think called the "Tank Ride". It has a cannon that shoots large racket ball type balls. The cannon is powered by an air compressor which is run off the engine. It has four spots on the tank that are "targets". When another's tank's ball hit the tank, it would shut down for 15 seconds and a "hit light" would go off (on top of turret). The dash lights up and and has a speaker that has realistic battle sounds. Two adults fit comfortably, one driver, one cannon operator!I will be working on this to get all the little things working. Engine runs great, moves and steers with no problem. This would a be a great Paintball tank or just fun around the yard and neighborhood.Yes, no one else will have one of these in your neighborhood! I will have some video of it in action soon! More photos of this large tank here $4,900 in Rhode Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gossp Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The thing is, it takes two to play the game... if someone else in my neighborhood had one... I'd buy yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
