TRACKS!

I'm back again with another update, the tracks are now on! At this stage it starts to look like a tank!



Close up shot of the tracks, they are made of treadmill belt and polyurethane resin.




Idler wheel, this is by far the hardest thing I've had to make yet. I wanted it to be cast in a single piece which made the mould making process very tricky...



Batteries, 24v 24ah setup. Also visiable is the kill switch at the bottom of the pic.



Very Tank like indeed.

Some stats on the resin im using.
Comp strength: 4500psi
Tensile strength: 3000psi
Shore Hardness: 70D

Next up, electronics! Stay tuned, I'll upload a video of it tearing around soon.
