New Project?

Just found some tracks off of an old toy... What do you think of this:

Plus this:

And get this?

What do you think?

 

 

Hmm.
To get the tracks to run with those wheels, you’ll have to put so much tension on them that you’ll lose a lot of motor power in friction. Ever thought of using those thick elastic rubber bands as tracks?

I can’t believe you’re

I can’t believe you’re drinking Newcy Brown. There’ll be hell to pay tomorrow.

BTW, I think you’ll need more wheels to make those tracks work.

custom brand rocket wheels baby!

Lathe up some stuff an make really wide wheels. These tracks have teeth on the inside, make a corresponding groove in the wheels. Don’t think it needs to be a line of matching/meshing dimples. That surface area will provide traction up the wazoo. Both on the ground and on the wheels.

 

Already figured out the wheels

There is a little tab on the inside of the tracks. I am just goin to stack two of the drive wheels together with a spacer in between and find something to use for the front.

 

A wall-E class?
What kind of torque do those little wheels kick out?

Looks like a ww1 tank

Would be pretty awesome if you could fit all of the working poarts inside of the tracks so that it could run upside down too, could make it pretty agile accross open terrain!
