Re: [TANKS] Re: High tempatures

[Derek Engelhaupt]

Ok, I was in the middle of a major network problem last night with our
Fortigate filtering internal LAN traffic on our network here causing all
kinds of havoc so I didn't really have time to fully explain why I'm
converting it to PVC.  The wood I used on the M113 is thin (like 1/4").  The
way the front end was constructed with the motors sitting on the track
sponsons, is causing the wood to seperate from the torque of the motors
pushing against the upper hull.  Basically the upper hull pieces on both
sides are pulling away from the front glacis plate.  There is no easy way to
fix it at this point now that the hull is built.  I like the way PVC
machines as opposed to wood and I don't have to use TiteBond to seal it
either.  Seeing that I was also going to engineer the M113 as a floater, PVC
seems more logical than wood.  So Steve is correct, it is in the design and
execution.  My wood hull design was designed well enough until I mounted the
motors where I did.  It was the execution that failed.

Wood not strong enough?  PVC is weaker than plywood pound for pound.  I 
remember helping my stepson build a model bridge out of a few bits of 
basswood for a school contest.  It held 240 pounds of dead weight before 
finally shattering.  It's all in the design and execution.

I'm sorry guys, almost 18 months ago I left for Afghanistanthat MUST be
the reason for the decline in board traffic...  :)  Of course that reminds
me I need to buy some PVC sheets to have waiting for me at home for my next
R&R.  The M113 is going to be converted from wood to PVC.  I'm looking at
some new wheels and tracks also.

Speaking of tank related temperature issues, do paintballs freeze and hurt 
worse in the winter months up north?    I'm curious since I live in Florida.
 
Also, how many paintballs will a 3.5oz CO2 tank propel?
