Surprised! Glockenspiel is turning quietly!

Nice project. Could be better if you add some suspension

[@CunningLinguist01]

Wow this is heavy duty. I just made my own rc tank. Have a look if you have time

[@justinsanemsu]

That is a nice design. What did you use for the tracks?

[@CunningLinguist01]

@@justinsanemsu its funny you ask. My track design is almost the exact same as yours. Instead of aluminum rectangle pads like yours i 3dprinted plastic segments that give grip on the bottom and have a raised section on the top to help prevent track derailments. I'm building a new track vehicle using one piece rubber tracks and the same motors you have. I find the chain track rust too easy in the winter with salt.

A bit of a noob question here but how did you make it so that the sprockets skips every secound hole where the nuts for the track are?

[@justinsanemsu]

Well, the sprocket was just cutout to go around them. They all have even numbers of teeth, so it works out.

Hi I love your tank it is amazing ! Could you tell me what wheels and motors your using - thank you

[@justinsanemsu]

The track gears are custom. The motors were power wheelchair drive assemblies
