RC Tank - Wheel with Planetary Gear

thingiverse

This is a replacement for the Drive Wheel of the RC Tank designed by Staind, found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2414983. The gear ratio in the original design is too low if using a 540 motor. After researching, I discovered a "Speed Reduction Planetary Gear Wheel" created by ScorpionTDL, located at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2517890, which is designed to reduce speed with a reduction of 1:3.8. However, it was not suitable for the Staind RC Tank. To make it compatible, I made some modifications. Now you can use this version on your "Staind RC Tank". To assemble this gear wheel, you need to print the following parts: 1. Wheel with ring gear x2 2. Sun gear x2 3. Planet gear holder 1 x2 4. Planet gear holder 2 x2 5. Planet gear_13T x6 6. Baffle 1 x1 7. Baffle 2 x1 8. Baffle 3 x1 9. Baffle 4 x1 Additionally, you will need: M3x20 screws x6 M3x10 screws x10 M3 Nuts x10 Assembly instructions: 1. Begin with the "Sun gear". 2. Place the "Planet gear holder 1" on it, ensuring the small flange is facing upwards. 3. Take three "Planet gear_13T" and place them on the three flanges of the "Planet gear holder 1". 4. Place the "Planet gear holder 2" on top of the "Planet gear_13T", inserting three M3 nuts into their corresponding holes. 5. Secure the assembly with three M3x20 screws. 6. Slide the "Wheel with ring gear" onto the assembly. 7. Mount the "Baffle 1/2" using two M3x10 screws, ensuring it's securely attached. 8. Replace the "Drive Wheel" and attach the "Baffle 3/4" outside the "wheel_suspension_outside_1_V1", securing it with two M3x10 screws. 9. Enjoy driving your RC Tank! I would like to express my gratitude to Staind and ScorpionTDL for their creations, which have allowed me to modify and improve this gear wheel design. It's truly amazing!
