Homebuilt FT17 / M1917 3/4 Scale Tank Construction

You really stripped that drivetrain didn't you?It must have taken an awful long time to build but the result is worth it.Loved all your vids about this thing.

Its recyled steel and dozer parts. I wanted it to be heavy and feel like a real tank. No golf carts here! lol

Thanks. The cannon breech is real.

you pulled all the shots on this tank, was that an actual breech loaded cannon you made or did it just look like one
either way bravo 5/5

its gonna be hotter than hack in there. good luk

This is the first tank I've seen where the builders actually used metal. Those treads, and the bulk of the undercarriage was all that off an old Tractor?

thatd be awesome like a blast of bb's or a tennis ball or something

Its used for noise and the effect. But I guess it could be made to shoot a projectile if I wanted too.

No plans to build one. But searching the net found alot of info. Used an old Cletrac tracks and frame.

where'd you get the plans at and what kinda tractor did you use

what does the cannon shoot?

darnit, thanks, what skills do u need in order to learn it? lots of mechanical skill?

It would be hard for a kid to make their own tank like this Id think. You would need at least a few thousand to do it.

would a 14 yr old be able to do this all by themself? and how long did it take to build this, how muhc it cost?

So cool... i what one...
