3D Printed RC TANK - Will This SURVIVE? 

Excellent work. Keep up the comedy, it's the best part. I replaced shit, with shit. 🤣

One thing I've noticed about tanks is they are longer than they are wide and their center of mass is generally set between the upper travel of the tracks. Something to consider for a potential future attempt.

„Ichanged that sh*t to this sh*t“ - hilarious...and so much me! 😂

Next week: how to print a clutch

For a snowtank you need wide Tracks and gaps between each link I also recommend to Lock at Tracks from Snowcats

The amount of testing, research and patience in this video is insane!

That's really cool

Best 3D print channel on YT. Maybe time to get the CR-30 PrintMill !

Mr.Tank approved

Good to know about the PETG and the cold.

excellent work, keep up the good work. This was obviously a big project

Great job!

I would love to see the tank V2 ! Maybe you can try to put the mechanism and the gearbox under the tank so the center of gravity is lower and maybe try to make it a bit faster ! Great video btw thanks :)

Great project! Congrats!

Great job!!!!!! Great video!!

"I changed this shit to the same shit and now we can do some shit" 😂😂😂😂😂

Great project!

Great ingenuity !

It is realy too cool and good 👍👍

I wonder if some sort of suspension would have helped with the track breakage? In all fairness, tracks are also the most failure-prone and maintenance-intensive part of real tanks.

I'm really very impressed by your gear boxes. I just built a large rc boat(85cm) and am really wanting to build a tank. Very inspiring channel

Good. Looks like monsters

That was cool, keep doing your videos, i really like them, greetings from mexico

Nice job! Greetings from Latvia!

Oh, I can relate to those feelings when see my tank move for the first time🙃

See oli täiesti hämmastav, pidin tegema ühe, et oma väike lennuk angaari sisse ja välja lükata

Nice work

V2 ..next

Nice

I love your passion for 3d printing. I wiuld go another step and try to 3dprint the shafts as well, and screws, and motors 😂 It doesnt work... Excellent job as always!! 😂👍

All this needs is an auto-loading 7.62x39mm cannon ;)

Are the esc senored or senor less because senorless dont like to be used for crawling they burn up that way used crawler esc and motors good job....

9:48 - highlight of the video

Would you consider channel mixing for steering ? Then you could have gas on left stick and steering on right. A bit more controllable.

Just a few improvement ideas - enlongate your tank and make it thinner. It means redesigning your gear box, but this will make working over terrain alot easier... I'm sure lining the gearbox with the skirt will be pretty compact and look very nice. Also try to limit how many items you have underneath the tank. With an elongated body you should be able to support a platform about 2/3rds of the way up the wheel and encase everything to protect it but also add a bit of weight to give it better traction... Just try not to make it too tall... Slim is always better. Perhaps putting both motors back to back on the rear of the tank and an encased lateral gearbox alongside the tank treads would be best.

me encantan tu canal, saludos desde argentina.

You could scale that up and use it as some kinda funky hoverboard haha

Love how you burn an esc in every single video ;)

nice

Can you please give a run through of your settings on your controller, I’m trying to do this and my controller won’t work

For the V2, tank designers figured out that the tank should be about 2 to 1.75 times longer than the width of the vehicle. The more wide the tank is, the easier it is to turn. But less stable it is, both in the forward direction (flipping end over end like yours) and less stable in the yaw direction (the vehicle would tend to wander to one side or the other while trying to drive in a straight line). If you make it more narrow, there's better grip with the ground and theoretically better speed, but it will turn like a pig.

What size are the bearings for the gears?

One improvement would be to make the gearbox in such a way that you don't need the printed chains, instead use gears to transmit torque to the tracks. Second would be to make the tracks wider as said by somebody in the comments. And to improve stability (a little bit maybe cuz it's still plastic after all) is to make the track sprockets heavier, instead of attaching extra weight to the body itself. But in the end this is still good because I know how time consuming and mental consuming stuff like this can get.

Thats a nice project, i made one too on my channel, my suggestion is, make the gearbox to turn the tracks directly, without the chain, and make the track longer

worth printing the tracks with flexible filament?

Homemade fun. 😎🚲

Why not print tracks in tpu?

where are you from? that uniq mix with russian and indian acsen. never herd it before/

The lubrication should be on teeth itself, for shafts you should use bearings. Also please don't hit the bearings with hammer like this. Use rubber mallet with larger surface area or some kind of block. You are going to fuck up those bearings sooner or later.

If you want insane torque out of a 775 you should check the planetary drive out of openrc Trial truck :) But! Nicely done.

👍

Is 3d print filament cheap in Estonia?

Every time i hear "SpAaaaaaacers" i think of Ivan Miranda :D

You funny 🤣

I like your idea , i think the tqank needs to be longer so it cannot tip over.

your inglish is very good

What you call siudeskirt is not present on tanks. As tanks have suspension holding their wheels, they are not rigidly attached to the chassis of the tank.

Love to estonia from turkey

9:49 life in a nutshell :)

Poggies

Hi, try to make air pump for car's tires 😁

Where are the SPACERS????

It seems a bit too short for this height and width.

Changed this shit with the same shit 😂😂😂😂👌....

would you be interested in doing a collaborative project, if we combined forces in fusion i think we could make something really cool. if your interested i would love to model a working rc ussr SU-5-1

Have you got a Patreon account? This is great stuff and I would sponsor.

You need to make it a bit longer and a bit more rugged... and add a lawnchair to the top.

I think your tank is a bit out of balance. The center of mass should be much lower. But then again maybe it was a little better with the weight container.

come on i thought you will do it as a snow blower that would be great

i love how over complicated it is.

Reminds me of a Russian tank...particularly when it was on fire...

It is ok if your bad at english, we understand you clearly.

Hei, kas said Ryobi sponsoriks?

Tangi raam on liiga lühike. NN lumekassidel on laiad roomikud. soovitan 3x laiemad roomikud ja 2x pikem kere . siis peaks su lume tank toimima lumel.

10:41 accidental face reveal

threw body screw holes

needs a wheelie bar it seems

@03:00 That Layer Line orientation looks _horrible_ for what you're using the part for... With the Screws acting as reinforcing Pins anyway you'd have fared better 3D printing them standing upright so each layer would have formed a continuous loop around both screws in each link - If you then add some sacrificial 45° geometry below the overhangs acting as built-in support you could have 3D printed them without Slicer generated Support and would have had an easier time snipping those built-in Supports away with sharp Side Cutters. Also print time is highly Printer specific. @04:00 Side Skirts are more of a protection thing - Not a structural part like in your tank so a more appropriate description would either be a Running Gear Assembly or Running Gear Pod akin to how the *Milrem **_THeMIS_* System works - Which I'm _highly_ suspecting to be the inspiration for this project 🤔 @06:10 I don't want to _split_ hairs but man... I think those 3D printed Parts look like they would have benefitted from either being made out of wood like the top or 3D printed flat 😏 @06:31 A bit more complicated but doing a tank with just one Motor driving both the actual driving axles _and_ an input shaft for a differential steering gearbox controlled by a Servo switching it either into either one or the other direction via Slip Rings would also be possible 😁

Да сколько можно бить молотком по подшипникам!? Нет болванки алюминия, распечатай брусок для забивания подшипников!

Man, please never hit bearings with a hammer again, especially the inner ring, it's basically cutting the live time of it by at least 80%

For God's sake, do not strike the nuts into the plastic! Heat them lightly and they will lodge themselves naturally (I pronounce this in spanish accent: NATURRALLYY) into the part 😂

i see no canon

I've been trying hard for more than a week to contact you Please enable me to communicate with you ....I left a message for you on your Facebook account.....Thank you very much

Small russian kids hands)))

Какой же поганый английский.

Great job!
