What are you using for the main body? That power-plant looks pretty weak for the weight I'm thinking it's going to have to handle.

Probably one of there triple row (6 cylindrer) models. The transmission is for 800cc of power.

Alright, how it is going to be controlled? Gas, brakes, shifting etc.

Also forgot to list this as well;

My buddy WIDOW was able to get ahold of all the parts in a Polaris 800 like the cv axles and carriers, transmission, etc.

Just to inform everyone, the ACP project is on hold until we get the M2 done. There is a large scale milsim game coming up with about 300 people or so registered and the M2 is one of the main objectives in the game so it takes priority.



Just got a m23 equilibrator mount ordered. Also got the 800mm TBB installed on the Prowin hopup. The gun should be up and firing by the end of the week.

Been really busy but we were able to test fire it this weekend and it shot pretty straight.
All thats left is to weld a 1 1/2 inch pipe to the power chair for the mount to sit on and to fasten the ammo feeding mechanism into the ammo can.

Worked fairly well out at the OP this past sunday. The 800mm inner  barrel made this gun LOUD and with .3 bbs, this thing was accurate to about 200 feet. I may be selling it though once its fixed up for 1500$. As for the base, it did great! I was able to stand on it as well as have it carry around the m2 and still be able to drive around on river rocks. More pictures and video to come.

Why sell it? Seems you have quite the nice uber custom AEG (or P*, can't tell) right there. It should serve you well for years to come... Unless there's some problems coming up.... :(

On a side note, how did the "armoring up" of the vehicle go? Haven't seen hide nor hair of the chassis for months now.

There's a military ran Milsim coming up and I need a light weapon. We are going to be continuing on the armor vehicle now that the m2 is done
