Tank Driving Experiences in the heart of the Midlands 30 minutes from Birmingham, Nottingham & Leicester

FV433 Abbot

The FV433 Abbot are built by Vickers and have a Rolls Royce multifuel engine with semi automatics transmission like the FV432. It is driven in the same way as the FV432.
The major difference being it appears like a tank with its 105mm gun ! This gun has a range of up to 17km and can fire a host of different projectiles.
NB to comply with UK Law our Abbot’s gun is deactivated.

FV432

The 432 is an APC or Armored personnel carrier. It has a Rolls-Royce multifuel engine and semi-automatic transmission. Steering and braking is through a pair of levers which apply brakes to the sprocket wheels. As the brake is applied to one track, the other keeps moving, hence turning the vehicle. The 432 is versatile and durable and can carry Upto 10 fully equipped soldiers.

Hagglund BV206

The Hagglunds are powered by either a Mercedes diesel or Ford v6 petrol and have automatic gearboxes. All four tracks are driven. Steering is provided by hydraulic rams between the modules which” kink” to force it to turn. The Hagglund is easy to drive and has endless capabilities and never ceases to impress.

Bedford 4x4

Back to basics trucking at its best with non power assisted steering and clutch the Bedford MJ is a tough truck. The “4 Tonner” is powered by a 6 cylinder turbo diesel engine and with selective 2 or 4 wheel drive and high and low transmission the MJ has impressive off road capabilities.

Miniature Tanks

The miniature tanks are powered by an air-cooled Honda engine. They have hydraulic transmission with drive being provided to the tracks by two hydraulic motors. The tank is controlled by two joysticks or foot pedals that control hydraulic power to the motors, therefore accelerating, turning or stopping the tank. All of this makes driving this vehicle child’s play.
