Replacing a track on a D8 is a nightmare and we used an excavator! I can't imagine a tank where it is bigger, a LOT heavier and the track is not exposed.

Well like they say, pictures or it didn't happen. You HAVE pictures! I actually forgot about that one, I guess that was the one he was referring to. I was thinking more along the lines of some of the other Darwin candidates I have seen.

yes, thank you all for the great advice. I still will go with it. Just not at this time as I am still learning and gathering up cash. I am just doing my homework now. But this all helps and it is being put in perceptive.
Thanks,

That is the correct way to do it, gather information and research. Unlike most of us who just jumped in head first.

I did a lot of research on owning a Ferret (which I consider the smallest, most affordable armor on the market) and I still learned more in one day or ownership than the last 6 months of research. It could be that my research only brought me so far and the hands on just took it to another level.That is the correct way to do it, gather information and research. Unlike most of us who just jumped in head first.

But I'm a novice mechanically (literally, never even changed my own oil).. so the world of armor ownership was a huge leap. I've learned so much in the past 3 months it has been a fantastic experience. But I really can't imagine starting with something too much larger. I mean maybe a CVR(t) if I had land to run it and was generally mechanically knowledgeable but I still think thats a stretch. Or a V-100 is a good mix between size and portability.
That is why for the OP I was suggesting a Ferret, you baby step into armor with the smallest expense possible, it is very road accessible, and easily resellable later if you decide to trade up (or decide the hobby isnt for you). You'll get a small taste of the larger/heavier world that armor provides but it isn't overwhelming as if you had a 20 ton tank in your lap and starting from square one.

You guys do the same with your deuces. Claiming you carry 50000 pounds in the bed off road and pulling a million pound trailer. It's ok the gov under rated them right?Hogwash. we have members on here that can haul it with there 1/2 ton pickup and swear to you that they can leagaly do it because they run high octane gas and put more air in there tires!

Looks like the seller pulled it from ebay because it is no longer available.....I wonder if that means it has been sold....

You are absolutely correct about eBay and their social engineering..
No weapons however all the ****ography you can handle.
Example: Selling a rifle case on ebay, image with real firearm to show off case, will not fly. Same case with same rifle with an orange plastic plug on end of barrel is a go. ( Looks like air soft AR15).
Don't like it, however it is their company.

If you go to the MV section of ebay (yes, there is one) you can see all sorts of AFVs including MVs with weapons displayed. Of the ones I was paying attention to, the weapons displayed did not have the orange muzzle on them.
As for the T34/85 out of Texas that was on there, the auction might have run it's course and with no buyers, was simply taken down after a given time period.

I second the suggestion of a Ferret to get started. Dozens of good reasons why. Mostly, you have to keep it fun and Ferrets are fun. I've done the whole route, Ferrets, Foxes, V-100s, Scorpions, T-55, Stewart, 18 others, a Ferret is the way to go.
