You need an Evil Bug....



It's the one in back. Built on an ATV..about 100$ in parts if you can find some free bike wheels. Send me an email to send you pictures to.

Are there any sites that offer suggestions on building a tank?

Warpig has a lot of tank discussion but not many actual finished tanks apparently. Come by the Blackhearts camp at Sealion. You best guide is check out other peoples work. From a massive project like the Tiger to a 2 weekend project like the evil bug it's all about $ and time. Bring your camera and a notepad and plan your dream.

If you look closely you can see me and Bobio making changes to a design:

is it made of plywood? Do you have any blueprints or building plans?

WE DON NEED NO STINKING BLUEPRINTS!!!!

It should be so easy. We get a picture in our heads and then try to re-create it in our heads. Each platform is different. You sort of design them as you build them.

Unless Junkie takes a picture of the secret plans as we draw them in the dirt.....Notice the radical turret improvements Bobio's drawing over by the bark!

Is anyone else a little frightened by the "pictures" in Bobio's head?

Should the pictures in his head for his next creation include a fire extinguisher...??

I saw the "Bug" at Charleston...that little thing hauled @$$!! It could get down narrow trails and was tearing people up!!! I bet it was hot in there, though..

Not bad actually and with some additional windows it's very cool now. It will see action this weekend and then the next at Sealion. If you have an ATV and want a tank this is THE design. Stop by and get the tour. See ya at Sealion.....
