Default Fun on the beach.

New years eve me and some friends went tanking on the beach. My upgraded HL Tiger (metal everything) struggled on the well trodden sand but ran fine on the flat stuff (the sand was wet and it kept getting bogged down). The stock Tiger and Panthers (all plastic) ran well on everything (actually they ran more like beach buggies). We drew quite a crowed which was annoying as it meant we couldn't fire the BB guns.

Anyway I was having too much fun to take pictures of my Tiger on the beach but when it eventually ground to a halt I took a couple of the Panthers.





When I got back to the B+B I stripped my Tigers running gear. It was completley clogged with wet sand (Guess I made it a bit too realistic).







Anyway after putting the tank in the shower it was running fine. Next day we found a nice field with short grass and a big flooded area so my tank went swimming.

I've done quite a bit to make it waterproof so I put it in the shower and washed all the sand away. I just made sure the water didn't go into the vents on the back.
