Although I hand drew my sprockets, there was some basic calculations involved
in finding out the size and correct teeth before starting to draw.
First, I set a maximum sprocket diameter that would let the tracks stay clear
of the upper hull. Lets say 4". The I figured the circumference, 4" x
a wiki would be good, it might be good to think about moving to a vbulletin
style forum also

I've seen this system before, I think the Russians made one a while back
too. I remember also that they made a water based version of that basically
in Scrapheap Challenge. So yea, the hollow barrels would work.

In fact I got inspired enough to work on my least-favorite (and
therefore slowest) part... assembling the tracks! That and actually
generating the drive sprockets. I looked at Mike's, which are glorious
and awesome, but I can't get the online sprocket generator to make one
with skinny enough teet
Speaking of adding things to the website, I suggest that we make all the
articles and maybe the link lists into a wiki. There isn't too much involved
in the setup, and it makes it so that we can have a much better knowledge
base.

Now that is a smart idea =D Along similar lines I import PCB patterns
into my circuit design software. Trace over it with the tracks and
then adjust or 'redesign' the circuit layout to suit my needs/
preferences before getting 'my' version printed for toner transfer. I
have a scanner up in the atti
Thanks for all the info Chaps!
I spy 'inexpensive' markers =D An hours running and firing seems
adequate. I presume that using PWM speed controllers would give a
significant increase, subject to driving style, in duration? I don't
think I can afford the PWM method anyway but out of interest..
Really nice work, Derek !

I have been seeing how people build their rc tanks on RCtankcombat.com and want
to build my own. I plan on using 1/2 plywood to give shape to the tank then i
would use aluminum as armour. Does anybody have any suggestions on how i should
start.
Love it, but it says :- recomended age 8 - 12 Greg :0)

Im not sure Chrys but I do think the disks will have to be a greater
internal diamiter than the external diamiter of the tubes , however I
do think your idea is a good one because if the discs are the same
then the spacing along the tube will be the same ,
to keep weight down the tubes can be made
Yes, it's a Viewloader Charger. I got it cos it was cheap. They sold
me an electronic one cos they had run out of manual ones. That did not
work as well as you would expect- it needed an extra battery (9v) and
never seemed to work properly. Eventually it broke and i have
converted it to work from a

A gyro would help a lot. Every screw will have different traction depending
on the particularities of the terrain , and the gyro should correct
slippage.
I am only trying to figure out if a ZIL is a back hole of energy, with tons

I started this hobby by building 1:35, and 1:16 steel laser cut tanks. For my

addiction and things got out of hand.

Cheap markers - you'll probably be looking for a Spyder Victor or

They used to be readily available from Planet Eclipse for about £50, but
