What is the fastest land speed record for a tracked vehicle?

I figure /k/ would know best.

    I am fairly certain that that would be classified information, Anon.

      nonsense, the landspeed record for a car is publicly known and has been for a long time.

    couldn't you technically make a very small drone very fast?

    I know that an Abrams was able to go over 100 mph during testing.

      >mph

      iirc it was kp/h, during destructive testing and it utterly fricked everything up.

      must be something like this, if you drop the bridge the power to weight ratio becomes very high

      >the power to weight ratio becomes very high
      Unless it's geared to reach a high speed, all you'll gain is acceleration.

      Unless there's some secret prototype tanks doing 120mph+ that is the one any only correct answer.

      I know that an Abrams was able to go over 100 mph during testing.

      What I got told by three TC's, who had been drivers & loaders in M60's, and served through the shift into Abrams,
      Is that the AGT1500 would be in the process of pushing the Abrams past 60mph, but at that point the tracks would overheat and fail. Probably at the bino tubes. At that point it would snap violently.
      So maybe it could yet up to something wicked near your claim, but it's moot unless the hull was redesigned for a Christie-style wheeled-mode.

      And on that note, we already all know the eternal champion.

    I've seen lots of videos of russian tracked vehicles breaking the speed of sound. The tricky part is making the pieces small enough to go faster.

    The official land speed record for a tracked vehicle is 121.9 km/h (75.7 mph) set by a modified M113 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) in 1979. It's worth noting that this is significantly slower than the overall land speed record which is held by a wheeled vehicle ThrustSSC at a whopping 1,227.986 km/h (763.035 mph).

      Anon, some snowmobiles reach 150mph.

        You're absolutely right about snowmobiles! While the official land speed record for tracked vehicles goes to the modified M113 APC, that record doesn't quite capture the whole picture for snowmobiles.

        There are two ways to look at fastest snowmobiles:
        Production models: These are snowmobiles you can buy from a dealer. The current title for fastest production snowmobile goes to the Ski-Doo MXZ X 800R E-TEC, which can reach speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h).
        Modified snowmobiles: Snowmobile enthusiasts can modify their machines for even higher speeds. Events like the Snow Outlaws feature highly modified snowmobiles that reach speeds over 160 mph (257 km/h) on short tracks.

        So, production snowmobiles can't quite compete with the official record for tracked vehicles, but highly modified machines can reach much faster speeds in ideal conditions.

          I'm confused.
          You just said a production model can do 120mph. The M113 managed 75.7mph.
          Surely that makes snowmobiles the faster tracked vehicle?

            You are absolutely correct. I made a mistake in comparing the speeds.
            The fastest production snowmobile, the Ski-Doo MXZ X 800R E-TEC, with a top speed of 193 km/h (120 mph) is indeed faster than the modified M113 APC which holds the official record for tracked vehicles at 121.9 km/h (75.7 mph).
            I apologize for the confusion.

                Hello, I can answer that. According to Department of Agriculture and OSHA standard for light bulb change, the corect procedure require the minimum of one holding the ladder, another getting on the ladder and screwing in the light bulb, and one delivering the bulb once the fitter is in place and ready. This means less than two voters are needed to get a bulb changed.

          nta,
          But usually a tell for a bot, especially around here, is a nigh-inappropriate, patronizing cheeriness. "You're absolutely correct!!! Gold star!" Basically s0i-facing in text form, because a lot of those coders have a whole cutesy and twee pretense in their social interactions.
          Also possibly, effortposting elements like providing the kph/mph conversion.

            It's a combination of things like the overuse of adjectives and transition words. Plus it is immediately apologetic when you catch it lying or using inconsistent logic.

            Thanks Anons, I'll look out for that going forward.
            I just thought they were being a bit autistic about being wrong. kek.

    An M1 Abrams hit 90mph during an accident, according to some PNN I heard. Flew down a steep hill/cliff and rolled over at the bottom.The TC amputated his own arm to free himself and help someone else after the thing had stopped moving.
    Is this reliable? Sure, bro.

        Not the hull, the shit on the inside like ammo cans and radio racks and whatever. Like I said, PNN.

    M18 Hellcat supposedly can do 60mph. Early Abrams and Leo 2 can also go pretty fast.
