[TANKS] Question about tracks.
Was staring at my road wheel thinking of the track parts i will need to make. Going to use the TTS system with the treadmill belt. The tank has a single road wheel so will require 2 teeth per "link". If these teeth don't need to be to big has anyone thought about starting with a thicker board and router out the channel in the middle for the road wheel? This might make for stronger tracks as the teeth side of the track would be 1 piece. Is there a specific height recommended for the teeth on tracks? -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Re: [TANKS] Re: AMX13
On the idea of venting the motors, think its possible. Cracked one open this afternoon to take a look. There is about a half inch of space between the magnets. That should give enough room to drill a series of 1/4 inch holes along the length of the side. I think i can maybe even get a few holes around the end too. Did not drill any today as winter has eaten my shed. The motor even worked after i managed to get it together again, impressed with myself ;).

[TANKS] AMX13
Been kicking (or moving) this project around the work shed for a long while. No actual progress beyond figuring out the curved hull front, until now. In the past week I have managed to get the suspension swing arm design to where I am happy with it and get 10 of them welded. I have also bought and received the motors for the project. I went with the ATV starter motors (thanks Mike Mangus for the idea) that i saw used on the S-tank T-081. I plan to use the same type of linear actuator to raise and lower the articulated turret (crazy French). The suspension will use the same type as T-044. I found some heavy duty lock collars that fit a 1/4 bolt through the side (lock). I also think I have figured out the potential paintball feed issues with the articulated turret, more on that once mocked up.

Re: [TANKS] New Track Idea
Joshua, Modern MBT seem to have a sigle horn with split road wheels for better weight coverage over the tracks compared to older tanks. My current plan is a light tank which uses track with two horns. Also small lighter tracked vehicles seem to still use a single road wheel and double horn type track. You would need a notch in the centre to take a horn and i guess a hole ffrom side to side for a pin to hold it. Stewart -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Re: [TANKS] any suggestions for right angle drill
Dirk, your tank on the site is T 085 correct? It looks like you are somehow using 110v grinders. I see cords. Are you somehow using battery with an inverter in there? I know my little 11pv bathroom type fan in my greenhouse run off a battery with inverter dies fast. I cant see that overly practical .

Re: [TANKS] any suggestions for right angle drill
I have a feeling this will not work, but i wonder is the guts of a Ryobi 18volt model P420 would somehow work. Price is stupid cheap ($50) and that why i figure will not work ;). Looking at the gaurd mount and it has great possibilites for helping to mount. Was also thinking what Steve was asking. Stewart -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Re: [TANKS] 12 volt dimmer /motor control as speed control?
Thanks Steve. So if i get the interal layout correct, really simple discription, Each drive sprocket is driven by a motor, each motor has its own speed control? The forward and reverse set up is done a double pull double throw switch some where between the speed control and motor (or similar). So with something like the Victor or Talon would it be a simple plug from the receiver (Rx)? If so is there not usually only one stick on the Tx for speed therefor one spot on the Rx for a speed control? But it sounds like you need two?

[TANKS] any suggestions for right angle drill
I have decided to get working again on my tank. It is a crampt hull so was thinking along the lines on the DeWalt right angled drills mentioned throughout the posts, 960s or something along that lines. Naturally those are discontinued.

Re: [TANKS] 12 volt dimmer /motor control as speed control?
So would something then like a harbour freight (for example as its on sale) router control possibly work? Strip it apart and use the guts. But since its meant for for 120 volt would it even work with the lower voltages you guys use?

[TANKS] 12 volt dimmer /motor control as speed control?
This may sound like a dumb question, and probably is, but has anyone tried one of these or similar. http://www.sailorsams.com/12-volt-Dimmer-9-20vdc--The-PowerHouse-12-volt-42-Amp-500-watt-PWM-Dimmer-with-rotary-dial_p_3205.html I am not a electrician (short of house wiring) so I am looking for a simpler sorta drop in solution for a speed control.
