Below I will write about some essential components for your tank project whether it is a tank or a rover or other project that runs on brushed motors. Electronic Speed Controllers ESC These electronic parts control the motors back and forth via the remote control. They have a variable speed from a few revolutions per minute to several thousand revolutions depending on the voltage and the power…

1.UPS Battery 12v At first I tried to use 12v 7ah and 4a discharge ups batteries for my rc tank project. This batteries are cheap but do not have enough amperage and are heavier than other types of batteries. 2.LI-PO Battery 11.1-24v If the budget allows, you can buy 12 , 14 , 16 , 24 li-po batteries that have a high discharge rate and are very…

These motors have a voltage of 12 to 24 volts and a fairly high amperage of 12-20 amps, I assume they are even stronger. In my Rc Tank TRA MI project…

To build a tank with remote control it is good to know some essential things about what you should use depending on the project you want to achieve. The basic materials from which you can build the case can be such as: plastic, thin sheet, wood, fiberglass or sheet over 2mm for increased strength . For example, my first project is made of aluminum frame covered with…

In this video I present my personal project in which I managed to make a functional tank track using rubber.Below you will see in the video the procedures for cutting and forming the rubber, its assembly on bicycle wheels and how it behaves. I chose to use these tank tracks for the t34 tank variant, the upper part of which is from a magazine. The platform that…

Recently I decided to start a new project, a tank with a heavier weight and larger dimensions, with many car parts received free of charge from car services. For this project I bought a 2mm sheet metal, I got wheels (wheels with bearings from car distribution for free from car services), sprockets and chains as well. I will try as much as possible for this project to…

I decided to film and show you how I did my tracked project, I hope it will help you if you want to do it too. in this video I further prepare the materials and parts to be added or mounted on this support. As an idea you can use this framework for your project but you can come up with something new, I was just in…

In the second part I managed to complete the tracks for my rc tank with all the necessary details. In the video below I present in more detail the track frame and all its component parts such as: two main wheels (silicone roller wheels) with 8 mm bearings tubes from 8 and 10 mm suspensions with 8 mm spring that slide into each other – caterpillar support…
