"It differed from modern tanks in that it did not use caterpillar tracks—rather, it used a tricycle design. The two front spoked wheels were nearly 9 meters (27 feet) in diameter; the rear-mounted third wheel was only 1.5 metres (5 feet) high. The upper cannon turret reached a height of nearly 8 meters. The hull was 12 metres wide with two more cannon in sponsons. Additional weapons were also planned under the belly. Each wheel was powered by a 250 hp (190 kW) Sunbeam engine.[1] The huge wheels were intended to cross significant obstacles. However, due to miscalculations of the weight, the rear wheel was prone to getting stuck in soft ground and ditches, and the front wheels were sometimes insufficient to pull it out. This led to a fiasco of tests before the high commission in August 1915. The tank remained in the location where it was tested, some 60 kilometres from Moscow until 1923 when it was finally taken apart for scrap."

A pity about the scrapping. An idea this bad really belongs in a museum, and the Russians have a nice one. |

This really bad idea belongs on the board against Martian Tripods. If it could only be powered by coal and steam. alas. |
