Great idea using the ride-on mower transaxle. I have the same idea for my near future build; except I plan to use the rear axle from an early 90's Kawasaki ATV. It has a differential on it with the bonus of a lever activated diff-lock if I need the traction of both tracks. The built in shoe brakes should make for an easy steer setup as well. This was a shaft drive and I have the engine from a chain drive atv (with reverse) which I plan to tie in with this axle. Should be fun.
cool machines you build there. loved especially how you drove the belts off the top of the motor. and the brake system to. I subscribed. ill check more of ur vids soon. ty for sharing your work. 👍
Thanks yes thats usually the problem I face youve got to have all your major parts on hand when building something from scratch. It takes a long time if you dont want to spend lots of money on parts.
kinda late to the party, but why not do a wedge design for the turning leaver? Like a 30 degree wedge, on a track connected to the turning stick. This way you push into it causing more friction and you would not have to change much. Would feel more reliable as well cause if your turning and your band breaks, well, there goes the show. The wedge could be from the rubber pads from a ladder you don't need or something similar.
Cool projects!👍 Do you still have the tank? Have you made or are making an updated video of your tank...discussing modifications...tank moving? Would be great! I'm looking into building a 2/5 scale tank, and am researching as much as I can on youtube...that's how I found your video. Congrats!
Thanks yes I do still have it. Check out my older videos I have some on its construction and driving it around. Its a big progect building one from scratch! good luck with it.
B 4 did belong to secret weapon,controlled from tiger tank,carried 100 Kg. TNT, up to 15 Km controlled via Fm.radio transmitter Pm.code modulation,speed up to 40 Km,auto gear 5 forwards 5 return
I thought of building one with 3 engines. 2 in the back and one in front. That way theres some leg room. I have all the stuff to do it. even front knuckles for 4 wheel drive. That might be a future project
another thing you could do is get some hydraulic disk brakes off a old motorcycle and put them on in place of the v belt pulleys the disk brakes would never break.
Very cool I just subbed. These tracked vehicles are a ton of work arnt they. I just changed the steering belts to band brakes it seems to work better now. I'll have a vid up on that soon.
Glad you like mine. I been working on mine for over 5 years now and still working on it. pretty close to a second test drive on mine. Subbed to yours too.
those are some great builds

I just love those angle iron tracks
for the tank cleats i would take them off and make new ones and this time put two bolts in it all on one side that will help from turning. the best.
Great Work dude!
That's cool, good job!

Just subscribed to you recently and this was on my feed, awesome build. Wish I could build one, don't have the materials though.

Do you have other videos of making this? It looks really good
Very cool!
Brilliant.
Cute Tank
simply amazing
what ever happened to the 'greenish fat tire shcwinn' ? i'd like to see more of it
Cool projects!👍

what kind of tracks did you use did they come off of a paver?
I built them from old tires and bed frame
cool vid, man could you build a go kart with 4 motor on all 4 corners ....?

love to see it...
THE GERMANS PRONOUNCE IT "GO-LEE-OT".
I HAVE ONE OF THEIR 3 WHEEL TRUCKS .
clever
I'd like to see them in action.
he has a video of him riding it around
Thanks, he makes the coolest stuff and they work even better.

Yes i have upgraded them to band brakes they are holding up well. I have a video on it
so the tank cant go backwards
have you thought about using hydraulics
Awesome projects!! I built me one too on my Channel from scratch. Go check it out, very similar in some places and very different in other places.
