This is a bottom plate and top cover for quickly assembling an RC tank using Makeblock aluminum profiles and tracks. Components used: RC receiver Roboclaw 2x15 A Controller Pololu Metal Gear motors with quadrature encoders Makeblock kit Straps (for holding the battery under the bottom plate) You will also need a 7.4V or 11.1 V LiPo depending on whether you want to use 6V or 12V engines. Here's a short video of my daughter driving it for the first time: https://youtu.be/3tq2wF-g8Ik My son is also driving a variant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u86hkacMqYc I'm driving over my son's tank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTc_vddoZuM The version she is driving is a low-powered 6V model with a gear ratio of 1:75. It can navigate almost any terrain. The version my son is driving is also a 6V model with a 1:45 gear ratio, so it's a bit faster. My other robots usually use 12V high-power engines with a 1:34 gear ratio. Print Settings Printer: BCN3D Sigma Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: Built to be easily printable. No supports needed.
