: My friend is a plumber, but he also has a bunch of old vehicles at his shop, including five or six dune buggies of varying sizes. If I can get one off him to fix up, would that be good to build a tank off of?
tank - no(imho)
scout type vehicle - yes
bug engines are pretty small, and you'd probably kill it(and its clutch) trying to push a vehicle with armour, weaponry, and players. you should try and get an old, small 4x4 if he's got one. more torque = less speed = more safety.
