A site with homemade projects, robots and electric machines with remote control
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…

This time I will show you in detail how we built the engine compartment for the heavy metal tank. I used a motorcycle gearbox, a few gears, two 24v 250w motors, a few chains, an opel differential with another toothed ring, two car planetary gears, brake and brake discs for each track.The wheels that learn the track are sprockets from the distribution of the ford modeo mk3…

In this video I attached a two-disc sprocket that are driven by 2 bearings and connected by sprockets from the angle grinder and connected to a windshield wiper motor. The cannon is designed to have both strength and finesse in sight, so a multiple reducer is applied by gears. For this Rc tank canon mechanism i used this parts:-2 * discs made on the lathe-1 * cogwheel-1…

In this episode we added several slightly mixed details, including the support of the cannon mechanism, the contacts related to the turret and some updates related to the appearance. In connection with the cannon system we used a motor from the windshield wipers, sprockets from the angle grinder, 8 mm shaft, 8 mm bearings, sprocket that moves the cannon up and down, electric limiters together with two…

One of the options chosen to move the cannon is by using the h bridge bts970 together with a servomotor and a windscreen wiper motor. It is quite simple on the electrical side, you will see in the video below how the parts change and you synchronize both motors to work like a bigger servomotor that can lift about 50 kg. The most important part to do…

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…

1. Cordless Drill Motors I have been using many engines for some time to carry out rc tank or other projects. Among the cheapest are the cordless drill ones that you find on the flea market. 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…

Hi, if you ever want to throw an angle grinder, you better not! Inside this grinder you will find a 90 degree gear that can be used both for the reducer and to change the direction of an axle. You can also take the bearings from the angle grinder, part of the rotor shaft, the brushes can be used at another angle grinder, you can also find…

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…
