Modular Tank Tracks

Modular Tank Track System for Attachment to Most Anything. Updates: New Pictures and Simple Mounts Added. Instructions: Get a More Detailed Write-Up Soon. You'll Need Support for Frame Pieces on Mounts. I Printed Shaft Pieces Standing Up and Down. Rivet Nut Sleeve is Used to Reinforce Mounts So Rivet Nut Expansion Doesn't Split Plastic. Video of Track Running: http://youtu.be/Sgy3i3ZVxlU. Overall, This System Doesn't Require a Lot of Support. I Used the Following Parts: * 10 Five Pieces - Per Side, 10mm X 15mm Sealed Ball Bearings (Traxxas RC Vehicles) from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GVMSBMU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * One Piece - Per Side for Motor Shaft M3 .05 Metric Coarse Thread 3mm Length from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005A1JYK6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Six Pieces - Per Side M3-0.5 Coarse Thread 25mm Lenght Screw (20mm Might Work Better, Cut These to Length) from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NHTPXI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Three Pieces - Per Side #4-40 Thread 3/16" Length Screw from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX0M17G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Two Pieces - Per Side M3-0.5 Metric Coarse Threads 10mm Lenght from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00598DI9I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Four Pieces - Per Side M3 Rivet Nuts from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JKG619E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Two Pieces - Per Side M3-0.5 Thread Steel Hex Nut from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NBIH92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Thirty or So Pieces - Per Side 1/2 Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nails for Tracks * One Piece - Polulu Micro Metal Gearmotors from Pololu.com (https://www.pololu.com/category/60/micro-metal-gearmotors) Note: High-Power Model Caused Axels to Strip, Consider Medium Power Version.
