Industrial conveyor belting hauls thousands of tons of fuel a day to the boilers of the worlds coal plants. Something as miner as a little- ole tracked vehicle shouldn't hinder it all that much.

Hmmm . . . so it's not a Tyng invention at all and should be re-named the KTS - Kegresse Track System - from now on ;-) Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 07:35:37 -0700 Subject: [TANKS] Re: Tyng Track System, full scale From: steve...@gmail.com To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Industrial conveyor belting hauls thousands of tons of fuel a day to the boilers of the worlds coal plants.

[TANKS] Motors
Quick question everyone. Looking on Ebay ect for motors to use, do you use 12V, or 24V electric motors? Would a scooter/ electric bike motor be worth it, the seem to come with a sprocket to drive a chain, thinking that could be useful. Something like this one http://cgi.ebay.ca/24-VOLT-280W-ELECTRIC-SCOOTER-Razor-E300-MOTOR-24V-ST09-/370485226670?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessorieshash=item5642a3ecae#ht_1902wt_905 Thanks Stewart -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Hi Stewart, Go to the page, then over to the right side under links select activities. You'll see videos 2007, and lots of other fun things they've posted. Or just go straight there: http://kegresse.dk/static.php?page=video-2007 Brian ps - I'm voting for keeping it as the Tyng Track System. First of all, Chrys K already got the KTS designation, and second, sure, Kegresse put rubber bands on cars in WWI, but it took Steve Tyng to put them on tanks!

Ben, Yes, I had seen Dave's tracks, and there is certainly nothing wrong with them - they are quite impressive. I just mentioned the Kegresse page as another example of this style being used on a larger, heavy vehicle, and it was nice to see that it performed well under muddy field conditions with no problems. It reinforces my feeling that this is an ideal method for the home builder to create tracked vehicles, though I still like the KTS hinge tracks for some applications. Having these, and the other track styles listed in the how-to section, as options, gives the scratch-builder quite a bit of choice when it comes to making tracks. (On the other hand, it just seems to encourage some people to build bigger and bigger models... y'know, ones they can ride around in... not namin' names or anything... ;-) Brian On Mar 16, 7:06 pm, Ben Holko b...@holnet.net wrote: Don't forget Dave Manson also builds/built conveyor tracks in 2/5 scale, the tracks on his M60 are particularly nice; http://www.youtube.com/user/Gizmo4t -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

[TANKS] Re: Motors
Yes electric scooter motors will work. Both 12v and 24v are used, as well as 18v. 24v being the most common. The MO1 (MY1016Z3) motors are the preferred motors today, being 24v 350w. They are already geared down to an ideal speed for tank usage. I use these motors, tho currently only at 12v. This will be changed in the future for higher speeds and more power. :) Aaron F T076 SCAB On Mar 16, 5:58 pm, Tommy Lum t...@me.com wrote: Search for MY1016Z3 On Mar 16, 2011, at 8:46 PM, MaleRN wrote: Quick question everyone.
