This is just a Teaser.

Below you will find a series of images documenting the build up of my Heavy Weapons Platform for D Day. This Beast will be unleashed on the Allies on June 13th , 2009 at 9AM and will bring the pain to them all day long.

This started out as a Halz-All electric garden cart that with the skills and assistance of my Sponsor The Underground Mod Shop was transformed into the battle- wagon that you see below. The business end of my Heavy Weapon will remain under wraps for now but I will post up some pics once they are declassified.

SWAMP.

The cooler is gonna be loaded with High Quality H20. D Day starts at Nine and ends at five and I do not want to be off the field for anything. This Weapon will have a four man crew all of us will have Camel Backs but more water will help us stay out all day long.

Battery life is a concern.

The Cart came with much smaller batteries and was rated to work a 6-8 hour day carrying 400 or so pounds.

I beefed up the batteries as you can see. I hope that I am not gonna have an issue but only time will tell. Once I get it to utah it is only intermitiant use on and off for the remainder of the day.

It has a motor on it and the air tanks are just fill stations not really remote kit I would think... Correct me if I am wrong

I can't wait to see it at D-DAY! Looking forward to it. Come by and say Hello at the BT booth. I'll have some new toys to show also. ;)

I would like to point out how completely unfair it is that I can't come to D-Day this year, and on top of that I can't see this thing in person, or even pictures until days after the game :cry:

consider deep cranking marine batteries.
longer life, better duty cycle, made for frequent full charge/discharge
then add solar charging plates from you local auto supply store / RV dealer.
they wont fully recharge you on the fly, but you can extend your range by as much as 15 or 20%

The output is regulated, so it wouldn't be optimal to use them for filling other tanks.

Not sure of the terrain you will be using this over or what is still going to be placed on this, but it looks too back heavy. I think you should put more weight over the drive wheels. The way it is now, you are going to have a tough time pushing this up a dirt hill.
