Would the motor or nut need a pivot? I can picture the meshing angle changing 
as the gun angle changes.

[TANKS] gun elevation motor?

2017-04-05 Thread srwh74rn
I have a place near me that sells those too. I was thinking sort of the same. 
My working in slow progress tank is an AMX13 so it would have to move the top 
of the articulated turret.

[TANKS] Question about tracks.

2017-03-17 Thread srwh74rn
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?

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 ;).

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

2015-02-10 Thread srwh74rn
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.

Re: [TANKS] New Track Idea

2015-02-09 Thread srwh74rn
Just want to mention some tracks have the horn (teeth) in pairs or a single 
horn in the centre.  The dual horns have the tank road wheel roll between them. 
The single centred one go through the centre of a double road wheel (think oreo 
cookie on its side). Many modern armour vehicles use this type.

Joshua, go to the groups home page and there is a section of "How To articles". 
 You will find a section on tracks. You will find TTS there.   The guide horns 
are teeth on a tank track system the fit eather between or inside the road 
wheels. The keep the tank from turn itself off the track (throwing a track)

tank treads.

Re: [TANKS] any suggestions for right angle drill

2015-02-05 Thread srwh74rn
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 .

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.

Re: [TANKS] 12 volt dimmer /motor control as speed control?

2015-02-05 Thread srwh74rn
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.

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?
