| Usually, it has to have a cut-off switch on the outside, and the speed limit is generally walking speed. |

First off dont make it huge, that will lower your manueverability. I would recoment the body out square tubing and sheet metal for the sides and top. Its very imporatant you dont make it too big. also it might be a good idea to build it out of an old car (that runs well). Dont set your goals too high, then you might not get anything done. ------------- M98 14" tear drop expansion chamber Evo II Rocket cock star bolt and other mods |

In scenario games or whatever can tanks be destroyed, because it seems kind of dumb if its indestructable. ------------- pain only hurts for a minute |

| No they can not be destroyed, theres a small box wit a hole on each type of paintball tank....wit a well placed shot into the hole it will make the engine shutdown, rendering it as a kill. |

All i know is that the speed limit is around 5 mph. It takes more than 20 hits it takes like 75 but it takes 2-3 with a bazooka. ------------- Hey howd you do that?! Your funny hahaha shut up! FAPM forumers against Popemobile |

I didnt say you did, I'm just sayin that they didnt have paintball ones. If you do make one, try to find out how to leave like a wire or something to pull out to turn off the tank. Put it on the back so you can sneak up on it and pull the wire. But that would be kind of hard to do, you would have to be really smart in electics and cars and stuff. If you need help, try askin A-5 Auto or 98 Nitro, they might be able to help you. ------------- Diablo Mongoose 2 18in CP Barrel adjustdable feedneck FAPM-Formers Againts Pope Mobile The South WILL Rise Again |

im makin a tank that will have three slots on it. 1 on the front and one on each side. all of the slots will have five wires in them one that leads to a killswitch on the motor if u cut it the tank dies. Trust me youll be lucky to even get anywhere near this tank without bein lit up! If you have a bazooka it will tank 4-5 shots. ------------- Hey howd you do that?! Your funny hahaha shut up!
