Re: [TANKS] Re: what is it?
hard to believe someone built it: "TRUTH: This "tank" was made by man who wanted to use it for crossing the Czech state border in 1970. However, the engine failed and then he went to Austria by bike!" wouldn't it have been easier just to try to sneak across in some home made camo cloth outfit than that thing? i would think it would just make for a bigger target for someone to blow-up Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: Speed vs Motor
Also important here is gearing. Most of hte tanks are geared so they'll actually move, and not just go. A tank isn't a car, an M1 Abrams has a top speed of about 45 MPH, which isn't much in comparison. At 1:6 scale, that's about 7 MPH, which is faster than most of the tanks go. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

It's obvious the friction wheel is slipping. Have you tried more spring tension? Have you looked at Pete's cog -drive setup? http://rctankcombat.com/tanks/T073/Page3.html The cog drive would give better engagement and possibly solve your momentum issue, but maybe not. That's one big turret you built and it has plenty of mass. If I was retro-fitting your tank I'd go with a bigger and faster motor, a smaller diameter drive wheel, and try Pete's cog-drive design.
