I know braking one side to steer is a common strategy with treaded vehicles but it always seems like a waste of power. I'm sure the strategy is much simpler than the alternative since the differential does most of the work for you. Those were interesting and good looking parts. Thanks for another great video.
@@ddegn hello thanks for responding I hope you like my video makes me wonder what do the new armored vehicles use what kind of transmission and differential is considered modern
@@warbarn2510 Apparently turning treaded vehicles has been a difficult since their inception. I just read Wikiipedia's *Tank steering systems* article and it looks like there have been a variety of methods used to turn tanks. Personally I've only made small treaded robots. I always use two or four motors to power the robots. I use encoders on the motors so I can accurately control the speed of the individual treads.
@@stevenslavicek9711 hello thanks for responding from what I understand over the years just about every part was made other than maybe the engine block crankshaft transmission and gearbox cases I heard there was someone several years ago who made three complete bodies. There's someone else is supposed to be making the bodies too so when engines run out I'm not sure how they will power these reproductions?
Great video War Barn!!
@@slackers2002 Thanks bro! I appreciate it 😁
Nice to see some partse that i had here on my bench, some years ago :D
@@pipikr yes is this Pat?
I think of you when I am putting the brakes together and how you crafted my parts

Hello I know the experimented with electrical drive and some modern vehicles use hydrostatic drive to with hydraulics
Very complicated as always from the Germans. Do they make complete copies of the vehicle?
