[TANKS] Re: High Power Servo Hack

2009-03-25 Thread Paul Hilton
I considered and discarded the original idea I had for the BT-7's steering.  I 
have a rather well made ball screw that I had intended to use for this purpose. 
 The ball screw, from the motor end, would seem to work well.  Friction is VERY 
low, good for not overworking the motor.  The problem shows up when something 
hits the front wheels.  There is a significant mechanical advantage (at least 
in the BT-7) from the wheel end.  This means that if your motor is trying to go 
one way and your front wheels hit a rock, driving your wheels the other way, 
you are going to blow a fuse.  An Acme screw might fare better, don't know how 
much.  I think the better option would be a worm screw setup like a wiper or 
window or sunroof motor.  In this setup, the gear can not work upon the worm, 
thus effecting a sort of stop.  Of course, if a large enough force is applied 
to the gear, it will destroy the drive.

[TANKS] roller chain with tabs

2009-03-25 Thread copperhead

Anyone have a source for the roller chain some of you guys use on your
tanks?

Specifically the stuff with the attachment tabs on both sides.

I want to see if it will work in conjunction with 1" timing belts (2
belts per side, pop-rivetted to the tabs) will work on a M-3
halftrack.

I figure 4' per side should give me enough chain to work with.

Thanks in advance,
Martin

BTW: I've resurected by M5A1 Stuart and should have it working soon.

2009-03-25 Thread Derek Engelhaupt
I'm sure that would depend on a few different factors.  First one would be
the speed of the motor turning the screw.  The second would be the travel
time of the screw which would be determined by the thread count on the
screw.

Would this do the same as the setup you mentioned?

No , They are 12v golf caddy motors. I didn’t want to go 24v on this

That wasn’t actually Pete . That was a FTF employee known as  tinky
wonky, he has received extensive training ( he and his 3 colourful

22 feet isn’t all that far, during the October revolution last year
Pete and I were scoring hits on the flat plastic discs that we called
soldiers heads from more than 50 feet away. They were no bigger than a
tennis ball. (We also had a lot that missed)

[TANKS] Re: 1/35 DRAGON BRDM-2

2009-03-25 Thread Phil

As chance would have it I can tell you about these; there was a
feature on BRDM-2s in the latest Military Machines International.

The BRDM2 is a Soviet 4-man amphibious scout car, used by the Iraquis
in the 1st Gulf War. Armament was 2 MGs or missiles. The belly wheels
could be raised or lowered and were chain driven, to help getting over
obstacles obviously. A challenge at 1/6th scale...

Wanna buy one?: http://www.tanksforsale.co.uk/BRDM2%20for%20sale%20pageALL.htm

I'll stick with the FIAT 500.

Phil

Are these M01 -24V motors in your Marder? Excellent choice. Few wheels to
bother with, workable suspensions.

And how in earth can you aim and hit a tennis ball from a distance of 22
feet?
I was watching teh other video with Pete.
