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 😂😂
You could pierce the side of a container with a heavy enough hammer, they aren't designed to take hits or much force from the sides, they're designed to stack up. Containers are mostly reinforced on the edges with tin between. Unless there's some special additional reinforcement for specialized cases. They're also designed to be as light as possible because shipping is expensive! This really isn't that impressive.
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.
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!
@@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.
When I was in the US Army, we'd drive the tank with the gun facing back and the only time it is facing forward is in battle. So you would not gouge the ground like that with the barrel.
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
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.
Why not put a wrecker boom on the back of a Model A and join in the wrecker games arranged by Matts Offroad? You'd have to be ready to break a bunch of transmission parts though.
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!
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.
you would literally have to follow it around with a helicopter, or drive it around with low field of view cameras, at which point you might as well just put the crew inside cause the visibility will be better being able to use all the hatches/lenses.... plus you have the ability to do field repairs when necessary.
Dave FFS, it is an ex UK army Chieftain not an Abrams. It is almost 40 years old and still rocking it. Imagine what the latest Challenger 3 is like compared to Putins junk.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out... For the untrained eye (like mine), they look pretty similar. But, I just googled images of both, and I think you are right.
@@yous2244 If Russia was actually fighting all of Nato they would get destroyed. They arent fighting NATO, they are fighting Ukrainians with NATO weapons, and its all old technology.
They completely sealed off the barrel and made it unusable for any type of use before shipping it to the US. I’m sure the RPGs are the same. Just props. He bought it about a year ago.
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!!
If cody and heavy-D had a baby, it would have 50% deisel in it's veigns and look like a piston about to explode at any second. While shouting: Give me MORE!
Dave, you would likely have to sleep for a year straight to catch up on the sleep you have lost in the last 5+ years. Don't even worry about sleeping in, you need it.
It's crazy to say that tank is gonna go thru more shit at whistlindiesels house than it ever went thru during war 😂
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.
It could’ve been blown up with a missile in war
Still wouldn’t be as bad as what he’s gonna put it through 🤣
What are you talking about? Being a vehicle at his house IS war!!! 🤣🤣🤣
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 😂😂
If you’ve ever stood inside or been around storage containers, then you understand just how insane that was.
Sadly that was not a real shipping container it was a aluminum truck box painted to look like a container
@@erinboatguyyeah, I've cut into quite a few conex boxes, and the side walls looked way too thin, and missing some critical structure.

Interesting... Cody has a self-preservation instinct... didn't expect that... mentioned power lines a couple of times.
His holding on to the tank barrel as it came at him made me think otherwise.
Dudes wayyyyy smarter then everyone gives him credit for and that’s his bread and butter.
@@KutWrite he literally stopped the tank with his hand bruh
@@bnkh: Haha!
The "careless idiot" persona is an act. It's entertainment. He's actually really intelligent and professional.
After watching a lot of Whistlin Diesels videos , I have finally come to a conclusion...........
Cody is completely INSANE , and I love it .
Watching Dave's reaction to the RPGs in the shop, I think it's safe to say he has come to that same conclusion 😅
10.06 wow could not believe how the tank demolished the container , great video 👍
He just loves testing the durability of things.😂
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.
@@stewiegriffin88they’re not real and he doesn’t actually have RPGs. All that was an act for the video.
Best YT collaboration ever!
Keep this relationship healthy. These two leads could make an hour long video, and I would watch it!
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
He went from blowing up dolls in Toy Story to Tanks vs storage containers.
Cody, Robbie, and Dave in one video, JACKPOT!!
Shocked and happy to see Robbie in the back ground haha
Was pleasantly surprised for sure
One Baptist and two Mormons, are priceless.
Who is Robby?
Only robby I heard of is Robby Layton.
Should of had Matts offroad recovery there also 😂
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

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.
When I was in the US Army, we'd drive the tank with the gun facing back and the only time it is facing forward is in battle. So you would not gouge the ground like that with the barrel.
People like Cody remind us of how great this country really is🇺🇲
Was by now, you got serious issues viewing from the outside
Having worked on several containers, they are very sturdy. that tank is badasssss....
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
Heavy D’s guilty sleep in face is worth the whole video. I’m sure Hans has plans to never let him forget 😂
💯😂👍
If that tank went back to the front lines it would feel like it’s a holiday, whistlindiesel sure give it a work out
I love how Dave laughs like "That's it?", then Cody just takes that step to make it fucking awesome. Long live Cody.
Hell yeah WD. Love when you guys get together.
Said everyone always
Agreed gavinkeller183
Now that was fun to watch and the delicate little piano interludes just add that frivolous edge to it all.
Glad to see Robbie Layton was there.
The amazing thing about Whistlindiesel is that he is overall still creating more than he destroys.
Every video with Cody always a uncontrollable laugh. Good video editing 👌
Cody takes "the joys of being rich" to a whole nother level😂
Helicopter, RC tank, powerlines, and RPG's.... it'll be fine..
Cleetus is definitely his "friend" that wants to buy the chopper lol
Cleetus already has Dave’s old red MD!
Is Cleetus the guy who had all that surplus helo stuff and tried to change terms mid-deal on Heavy?
no@@KutWrite
@@KutWrite Cleetus Mcfarland. Look it up.
Nah, Cleet has his mind set on an MD-500
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.
You know you’re out of control when Heavy D looks at you like your crazy
Cody acts like a 5yr old and I love it
As a tank mechanic i don’t know how you haven’t popped track yet haha😂
they did in the video in the UK
I hated putting tracks on after throwing them..
Man casually dropped the RPG warhead like it’s an android 😅
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.
Nasa's satellites must be going crazy seeing all these normal toys drive around
Man, I never knew tanks sounded so badass..
I feel sorry for the guys that worked so hard on this poor tank. But hey it's entertaining af!
What else are you gonna do with an old tank, he will probably employ those guys to fix it again
@@jd8052 Probably not, that would mean shipping the tank back to the UK which would cost hundreds of thousands if not millions.
Cody: "together? Two steps too far."
I love you guys
Thank you.
That made me smile, and I really, REALLY needed something to make me smile today.
"Camper world" 😅 Cody's brilliantly savage
Robby Layton was there too??!!! I never get invited to cool UA-camr stuff.
Why not put a wrecker boom on the back of a Model A and join in the wrecker games arranged by Matts Offroad? You'd have to be ready to break a bunch of transmission parts though.
@@Mark_Bridges Hahaa! I'm not even a blip on those guys' radar.
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!
YOU Have Entered the CRAZY ZONE - this is just amazing - only on UA-cam...
Now I see why Mr. Hewes was reluctant to let this tank go.
That Tank puts a whole new twist on the movie Kill Dozer or Maximum Overdrive !!
That was neat seeing Robby Layton there!
Imagine hearing that motor in a distance, full speed ready to blow the whole battalion to bits.
Your editors deserve a raise!! Hilarious!!😅
Joe Hewes Did a great job on that tank for you!!!
Great to see whistlindiesel team in action
I love the pure chaos of this guy
I can only imagine how on edge the Tennessee power is watching alll this take place feet from those lines and poles 😂
What did robby paint the g wagon? Robby nation, baby!
Nope. You can buy the red one. In a series of small jars.
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.
Robby Layton making a guest entrance
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
Together we are going to take it two steps too far. In other words PERFECT
Thanks for going out of your way to film and do this. Shows how you love make your followers happy. Keep doing awesome.
Threw me off hard when I saw Robby Layton on the tank! Hahaha
I love the silence of the lambs recognition with the classical music from the movie 🎬
Dude, I once took a sleeping pill and slept for like 20 hours. It was awful 😢
Getting harder and harder to beat Cody's content 😂
the turret is supposed to be turned around when youre driving through stuff. the gun will break if the turret isnt turned around
6:30 - I love you editor
Heavy D + whistlindiesel= a fun ass time. I'd give anything to drive that tank 1 time.
Was that the military pychop girl.
Lujan yes
0:42 Whoever Nate is, I think he did a pretty good job!
Dang can’t believe you got cleetus hooked on those helicopters
awesome flying on that video with whistlindiesels man!
your face when he said all those boxes are full of them. LMAO.
i love your videos and i love WhistlinDiesel's videos.
I see Robby in there! Can't wait to see all the vids
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 😁
Its crazy how that tank just sliced through the container. Cody just layed the throttle down and the tank pummeled the container.
When a tank sees more action retired than it did in an actual war
“Whistlin Diesel”
if cody's guys can build a remote control tank, the army needs to get on board with that instead of putting soldiers in them.
you would literally have to follow it around with a helicopter, or drive it around with low field of view cameras, at which point you might as well just put the crew inside cause the visibility will be better being able to use all the hatches/lenses.... plus you have the ability to do field repairs when necessary.
Don't forget about loading artillery
Pretty sure the military is a little bit more advanced than that😂
How do you know they don’t?
Yall are the Disney of UA-cam
They are not woke diversity hires though.... horrible analogy my guy
What did you possibly have to edit in your 6 word sentence?
After the Ferrari incident I want to know what crazy son of a gun thought it was okay to sell Cody a tank 🤣😂🤣😂
Look up "Mr Hughes" an English guy who does up tanks and sold him this tank
@@lotus7replicachevron479 Its actually 'Mr Hewes' and he is as funny as f....

Well Nato and Ukraine has already lost though

Watch Redacted, The Gray Zone, Colonal Douglas, or Scott Ritter.
It’s the “I love AG1” but grabs a 44 OZ of coke lol
That gas station needs help...with its "help wanted sign" lol
TANKS !!!!! SPARKS NEEDS A TANK OF HIS OWN !!!!
You guys are always apart of the greatest content
No every video is a banger, but you have the best upload rate out of any automotive youtuber I watch
Looks like heavy D might want a tank now
I have a feeling cody is incredibly safe, maybe not with himself, but others I think he’s very safety conscious.
Not at all. A few videos back he sent a car flying down a huge hill towards his cameraman
These episodes with Cody are always like "WTF is going on here?!?" 😂😂😁😁😂😂
Happy to see diesel brother ❤
Who on Gods green earth gave Cody the keys to a Tank ???? And then sold him RPG’s !!!!!
Biden 😂😂😂😂😂
It‘s his Tank. He bought it over in Europe.
Shall not be infringed... It's a beautiful thing
They completely sealed off the barrel and made it unusable for any type of use before shipping it to the US. I’m sure the RPGs are the same. Just props.
He bought it about a year ago.
Daves next video: so i bought a tank
Next Video. Remote controlled Black Hawk
NGL, I really like the 20 min+ videos. 14 is just not enough!
Cody is the mad man the internet invented and always wanted.
It’s only fun till the remote shorts out and tank is unstoppable.
Dead man switch. Even the smallest drones have it.
1:1 sized RC Tank
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!!

Shipping containers aren't that sturdy. Their strongest points are their corners.
True indeed about the container
they have to be sturdy to support the loads inside the container while being lifted from the four corners in and out of cargo ships
I’m sure TVA is like 😮 with all that equipment by their high voltage towers 😂
LMAO you really flew across the country so WD can play with his toys from a Helicopter POV lol
Im not gonna be quiet till hes quiet
Cody: he didnt even say anything 😂
