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

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…

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…
