The company who operates these would use a lot less fuel if they at least gave the tracks & road wheels a brief wash down every once in a while. It'd be well worth the time. We used to operate a couple of BV206s as shoot transport and this was definitely the case for those. Just knocking off the big mud accumulations was enough to lower the rolling friction by quite a bit.
@spodula2 жыл бұрын
The place that runs them is called Armourgeddon. They have about 40 of them if i remember correctly, although i don't know how many of those actually run. They got a load of them from the British army and put a paintball cannon on the top and run tank paintball battles. I've been there a few times, and don't remember seeing them quite that dirty, so i think the "Once a year" thing is hyperbole. Not least of which because they will need to clean off the paintballs after a few battles.

Having maintained many 4-3's, that one needs a bit of maintenance. The track is too slack, it needs grease in rear idler. The front sprockets are worn and the track pads need replacing. With all that washing they probably need to take the Hull plugs out. That's a total nightmare though due to the oil. The Rarden cannon is cool though. I ordered one back in the day and it almost turned up until the depot noticed my unit wasn't qualified to order the ammunition for the cannon. It was worth the extra guard duties!

Gents this is a FV434 APC it’s a Diesel engine because the exhaust is on the side. The FV432 APC is petrol and the exhaust was on the top. I had many a happy time driving one of these during my Army life. After each exercise we would wash them down with high (massive) pressure big fire hoses. This is now used for tank paint balling (good fun). They wouldn’t come with a gun turret, like this, that’s been added for the paint balling. Section APC’s came with a machine gun turret. Some FV432 were fitted with a Rarden Cannon turret normally found on a Simiiter light tank but you only seen this type in Berlin. Great fun to drive. Not very comfortable for the poor guys in the back.

I use to drive and look after 6 of these, 432 436 whilst I was in the army. We took them to Canada and had to do a biological clean, literally no mud, dust oil or anything could be on it. We had a day and night shift on the wash down constantly with the jet wash on then some dood would stick his finger in a hole you didn't know was there and pull out more dirt. That bloke nearly got murdered!

For anybody genuinely interested in this, the easiest way to do this is start from the top and work your way down with a pressure washer. Clean the outside, then the inside, then touch up the outside where you will inevitably leave footprints from going in and out.
