Cheers man! I have bought all the parts to finish it and should have it running in a few days and so far has cost me around $1000NZD, probably just under that, although I will be adding some heavy duty brakes to improve the maneuverability and a couple paintball guns on top to top it off.
Initially thought my headphone batteries were flat. Can hardly hear what your saying. Looks like a great build and using bicycle chain in my own project.
I'm wondering if you could do the same thing with a "roller chain" that has "attachments". Like a conveyor belt chain that allows you to bolt things every other link.
this thing is absolutely amazing .and it has got so much potential ! if i was you i would like to instal 3 more chainsaws to have a full control . then i would buy an arduino platform with an easyvr module.(for voice control -and i would forget about that rc station) good luck !
Very good design. What is the size of the roller chain used to make the track? Also, what are the dimensions of the flat plate used for the tread attached to the chain? Keep the videos coming.
+James Woodhouse Hey mate! Its just standard 428 o ring mx bike chain and sprockets with 15mm x 5mm sections of bar welded to the chains. I would recommend using non o-ring chains if you were going to replicate this as the rubber o-rings didn't really like the heat of the welding!
ZTR hydros work really good for building crawler tractors and snowmobile tracks make good tracks, but use hard rubber wheels for idlers that's my plans anyway, however using chains and sprockets is good too!!!! that's how struck crawlers were done Great job
+DrBwts Yea sorry about that I haven't had a lot of film experience and was just trying to figure out what levels and things to use with editing and it never really seemed to work.
Escape Gaming I think what John was asking, how is the drive going to be split, if it is only a single engine with no transmission then its the same as having a locked diff in a car and won't turn. He could possibly mount another two small centrifugal clutches on the rear sprocket with mountain bike disk brakes attached to each. That would give him some slip in the final drive line and independent brake control of each track. Good work EpicBuild.

looks really nice looking forward to seeing it go

good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea its slowly getting filled up!! Will need to expand soon ;)
good job. А вы не пробовали испольжовать трос?
🆒
Good
hey how did you connect everything remotely ?
what size roller chain that you use?
and how thick was the plate you used?

Are you going to add steering ?
for main track?

Very nice!!!! Have you got any more vids of it further on in the build?
Thanks! I am working on the next vid at the moment! it is very hard to find the time now school has started again.
Cool good lock!
how can u weld these plat and chain?
What type of wheels most used? what kind of wheels are these? 3:12
Hello sir what is the size of the series and its name and thank you
could this carry a person?
are those heavy?
+WaldRuR Extremely heavy haha! But it helped it get loooooots of traction
i like to buy the body
look like just a tank chassie
??
volume is too low, I can barely hear you speak
+DrBwts Yea sorry about that I haven't had a lot of film experience and was just trying to figure out what levels and things to use with editing and it never really seemed to work.
still it was a good video thanks for posting it.
DrBwts then turn up the volume
This motor no have power to move this machine
How do you tern
*turn. Spelling lesson #1.... You're welcome
Well my guess is, one side of the tracks rotate slower, or if your at a complete stop will rotate in opposite directions.

+zooknut This is exactly what I did thanks for clearing it up!
