Are talking about that tank

Are talking about that tank tread kit ?The instuctions come the kit.

As for wireing it it’s jut two motors so it is simple.

Allot of bots here use it (including mine) so you will see allot fo pictures of what it should look like.

Well it depends which kit

Well it depends which kit you bought, could you give the link ?

Most of those kits only come with the wood base, a batteryholder the tracks and one motor. You have to buy a gearbox with 2 motors so that the thing can turn(or you coudl use servos).

You dont need a specific tutorial to that kit to get it working, any tutorial using arduino and 2 motors with sensors should be perfect.

Well the thing is with that

Well the thing is with that kit you only get 1 motor so you can only go forwards or backwards. You need to get a seperate gearbox that would allow you drive both tracks with different mottors. Or you could use two servos. 

Like these ones:

(when they say 4 speed it means that when you build it you will have 4 choices of gear configuration that will detemine it’s max speed amd torque )

That’s what I did with my Tamiya tracks too. The thing is beside having 2 indépendante gear box and 2 motors you have 4 gearing setups as mentioned Vince. The highter the ratio the stronger the tork but slower speed too. Good luck.

Check mine if you want.       https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/21631
