Ever seen a main battle tank rigged up with remote controls? Well my good friend WhistlinDiesel created the very first one and we thought we should go check it out!

It's crazy to say that tank is gonna go thru more shit at whistlindiesels house than it ever went thru during war 😂

[@DirtyD07]

I don't think that tank actually saw service time. I don't recall them saying that when he bought it. Would think it was a trainer.

[@georged1085]

It could’ve been blown up with a missile in war

[@georged1085]

Still wouldn’t be as bad as what he’s gonna put it through 🤣

[@Rekuzan]

What are you talking about? Being a vehicle at his house IS war!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@MintMonte87ACSS312]

This tank in paticular, was never in actual deployment related service. Was used on base until it’s retirement. But it probably would get more abused at Cody’s 😂😂

[@mikb277]

If you’ve ever stood inside or been around storage containers, then you understand just how insane that was.

[@erinboatguy]

Sadly that was not a real shipping container it was a aluminum truck box painted to look like a container

[@ripn929707]

​@@erinboatguyyeah, I've cut into quite a few conex boxes, and the side walls looked way too thin, and missing some critical structure.

[@otlndsh]

Interesting... Cody has a self-preservation instinct... didn't expect that... mentioned power lines a couple of times.

[@KutWrite]

His holding on to the tank barrel as it came at him made me think otherwise.

[@dustinb2258]

Dudes wayyyyy smarter then everyone gives him credit for and that’s his bread and butter.

[@bnkh]

@@KutWrite he literally stopped the tank with his hand bruh

[@KutWrite]

@@bnkh: Haha!

[@pauliewalnuts240]

The "careless idiot" persona is an act. It's entertainment. He's actually really intelligent and professional.

[@automan1223]

He went from blowing up dolls in Toy Story to Tanks vs storage containers.

[@LsxDenali]

Best YT collaboration ever! Keep this relationship healthy. These two leads could make an hour long video, and I would watch it! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@lordofpain3476]

After watching a lot of Whistlin Diesels videos , I have finally come to a conclusion........... Cody is completely INSANE , and I love it .

[@stewiegriffin88]

Watching Dave's reaction to the RPGs in the shop, I think it's safe to say he has come to that same conclusion 😅

[@shaun4633]

10.06 wow could not believe how the tank demolished the container , great video 👍

[@kennwats1111]

He just loves testing the durability of things.😂

[@adamfarkasbdp]

He's putting alot of effort in his videos to make simple people like you believe that he is insane. He's a very clever business man who's making money while having fun.

[@1216jimmyz]

@@stewiegriffin88they’re not real and he doesn’t actually have RPGs. All that was an act for the video.

[@streetstomper]

Man I would love to hang out with these guys even if it's just for one day. Robby Layton, Cody and Dave that's a recipe for fun

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

I'd like to have the cash Cody goes through setting up just one episode of destruction like this as it would likely pay for all my fun projects for the rest of my life and then some. The cheapest used shipping container alone goes for about $1,500 however you can drop well over $100,000 on just a cheap tank in running condition. I know its all fun however the price tag sometimes appears quite staggering when you think on it. Best!

[@jeremysales1232]

​@@neilfromclearwaterfl81think of it this way. A few years ago Cody didn't think he could afford stuff either. Then he found out material things are meaningless in the long run and figured out how to make things happen in his favor.

[@Patrick-ff9dn]

Cody, Robbie, and Dave in one video, JACKPOT!!

[@brandonswitzer8484]

Shocked and happy to see Robbie in the back ground haha

[@coyoteden3773]

Was pleasantly surprised for sure

[@thepubliceye]

One Baptist and two Mormons, are priceless.

[@danielharing6807]

Who is Robby?

[@snowballil3133]

Only robby I heard of is Robby Layton. Should of had Matts offroad recovery there also 😂

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Now that was fun to watch and the delicate little piano interludes just add that frivolous edge to it all.

[@brenthoopiiaina4436]

Having worked on several containers, they are very sturdy. that tank is badasssss....

[@notbappo2435]

Fuckin yeah they do, depending on the year, his chieftan either has the19L 6Cyl making 750HP or the 26L V12 making roughly 1300HP. If its the V12, at 5500RPM its making 5500 ft/lbs of torque

[@aspicio9127]

Every video with Cody always a uncontrollable laugh. Good video editing 👌

[@AdvantureZach]

Heavy D’s guilty sleep in face is worth the whole video. I’m sure Hans has plans to never let him forget 😂

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

💯😂👍

[@jasons4745]

If that tank went back to the front lines it would feel like it’s a holiday, whistlindiesel sure give it a work out

[@mrfluffy1834]

Cody literally looks like the main character in an action movie, and we just get little bits of the movie every time he uploads lmao.

[@bhaddox3999]

As a tank mechanic i don’t know how you haven’t popped track yet haha😂

[@gideonwackers7693]

they did in the video in the UK

[@USMCR1811]

I hated putting tracks on after throwing them..

[@EmBeye21]

Thank you. That made me smile, and I really, REALLY needed something to make me smile today.

[@calebhupper7901]

I love how Dave laughs like "That's it?", then Cody just takes that step to make it fucking awesome. Long live Cody.

[@lisaharris7549]

Definitely need more of these crazy videos. Really enjoyed this one lads

[@08_crown_vic]

There is a whole channel called whistlindiesel that is full of crazy stuff like this

[@lisaharris7549]

@08_crown_vic I didn't even realise I was subbed to it. Thank u so much tho sweetcheeks

[@halfastracing8311]

Cleetus is definitely his "friend" that wants to buy the chopper lol

[@calebm.5698]

Cleetus already has Dave’s old red MD!

[@KutWrite]

Is Cleetus the guy who had all that surplus helo stuff and tried to change terms mid-deal on Heavy?

[@donmiller8152]

no@@KutWrite

[@garrittpwl]

@@KutWrite Cleetus Mcfarland. Look it up.

[@MX304]

Nah, Cleet has his mind set on an MD-500

[@TastyTurdling423]

you two are amazing. love your Collab's bruvs

[@gavinkeller183]

Hell yeah WD. Love when you guys get together.

[@Rick_James]

Said everyone always

[@user-if6xq4dw4x]

Agreed gavinkeller183

[@holderoftheshares1257]

Glad to see Robbie Layton was there.

[@Skargar]

The amazing thing about Whistlindiesel is that he is overall still creating more than he destroys.

[@connorfroese2342]

Thank you to the video editor, when heavy d said "I got my eyes on one in Australia" and zoomed into his eyes. There still is some good in this world.

[@mitchdavis9155]

Cody: "together? Two steps too far." I love you guys

[@robertlantz2206]

There are 3 guys that promote pure Freedom in no particular order Cody,Dave, and Garrett. You 3 guys are inspiration at its best. I really live you you all do it you own way and it's never boring.

[@Bruzzerfish]

You know you’re out of control when Heavy D looks at you like your crazy

[@DaveThaD]

Love all your video's! Love your BACKHAWK

[@DrDave-gq4kz]

Beautiful video! Great collaboration

[@thelonewrangler1008]

People like Cody remind us of how great this country really is🇺🇲

[@Bullshit1011]

Was by now, you got serious issues viewing from the outside

[@bueller747]

Man, I never knew tanks sounded so badass..

[@honestjay8120]

I would love to just go hang out with Cody for a day or two and just watch and see the crazy awesome things he does in person

[@eurocon]

Great to see whistlindiesel team in action

[@lwinkler2505]

Your editors deserve a raise!! Hilarious!!😅

[@ARTWV]

That tank is badass. Great video y’all

[@FindUtheCwordK]

your face when he said all those boxes are full of them. LMAO. i love your videos and i love WhistlinDiesel's videos.

[@lindsayroberts922]

Cody takes "the joys of being rich" to a whole nother level😂

[@1Sik1500]

It’s always a good collaboration!!

[@benjaminmontgomery4583]

I live in Lexington and grew up there. This is so cool.

[@Jane_Dow]

That Tank puts a whole new twist on the movie Kill Dozer or Maximum Overdrive !!

[@streetracing112]

You guys are always apart of the greatest content

[@trekman-ld3gt]

Cody acts like a 5yr old and I love it

[@jarrettwalters6632]

God, I love anything with an engine that’s so much power that I can’t believe it tore through that container like that I mean it is a tank but still crazy!!

[@freedomforall2486]

Nice to see behind the scenes of Whistlin’ Diesel vid!!

[@rodneyhaining3949]

"Camper world" 😅 Cody's brilliantly savage

[@nickybrander1015]

I love the pure chaos of this guy

[@user-ov9rj6ze7v]

I seen both videos. I wish both of them had a little more to them. Because it’s obvious that was fun.

[@Smither6565]

Love all the content!

[@legendari2196]

I can only imagine how on edge the Tennessee power is watching alll this take place feet from those lines and poles 😂

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Cody definitely is one of a kind great video

[@Keepingthefaith120]

I dump loads in Lebanon Tennessee! Nice to see you out this way!

[@StevenCampbell1955]

OH YEAH, Dave and Cody....guaranteed mayhem. LOVE< LOVE< LOVE having a remote control tank. Now what can we CRUSH? Van- check. Thick tree - check. 40 ft container- check..check.check.

[@MyLifeThai371]

That was neat seeing Robby Layton there!

[@harrypatt7708]

Imagine hearing that motor in a distance, full speed ready to blow the whole battalion to bits.

Welcome to Lebanon, TN! I live there on Old Hickory lake

YOU Have Entered the CRAZY ZONE - this is just amazing - only on KZbin...

[@eastonharward7895]

Threw me off hard when I saw Robby Layton on the tank! Hahaha

[@ryansbigideas]

I feel sorry for the guys that worked so hard on this poor tank. But hey it's entertaining af!

[@jd8052]

What else are you gonna do with an old tank, he will probably employ those guys to fix it again

[@azzifyy5988]

@@jd8052 Probably not, that would mean shipping the tank back to the UK which would cost hundreds of thousands if not millions.

[@923rk]

awesome flying on that video with whistlindiesels man!

[@kerrylewis2581]

Together we are going to take it two steps too far. In other words PERFECT

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

Helicopter, RC tank, powerlines, and RPG's.... it'll be fine..

I see Robby in there! Can't wait to see all the vids

What did robby paint the g wagon? Robby nation, baby!

Nope. You can buy the red one. In a series of small jars.

You guys are so crazy i love it❤😂😂😂😂

[@DixonFosu]

Man casually dropped the RPG warhead like it’s an android 😅

[@harrypatt7708]

I have a feeling cody is incredibly safe, maybe not with himself, but others I think he’s very safety conscious.

[@speakfreely.1776]

Not at all. A few videos back he sent a car flying down a huge hill towards his cameraman

[@fishicusdrunkendwarf9863]

No every video is a banger, but you have the best upload rate out of any automotive youtuber I watch

[@unfinishedbizniz]

When Dave Sparks and WD get together, its gonna be an epic episode! And it did not disappoint! Who gets to drive a real RC TANK????? And Monster trucks! Its a man childs dream!

[@keaganshepherd5078]

That short got me man xD love from Germany

Robby is there? He wasn't in Whistlin's video, wonder what he's there for. Anything he'd paint would be messed up the next day 😁

This tank is everywhere!!!So awesome 😎 crossing right by me headed to Lexington Kentucky 💯🔥

[@bgood424]

I’m sure TVA is like 😮 with all that equipment by their high voltage towers 😂
