Tank, Tank Parts

thingiverse

Here are the components I've got: The tank misc parts that fit well with Tank Track 2in, idler arms, and other tank parts include those I'm storing in my stuff. These items will aid in finishing up your tank project - I'll keep adding more as I can. Tank L-R drive covers cover the updated worm gear boxes to conceal the spur gears and gear boxes. They work only with 1 1/2 inch tall frame rails, sitting beside the Sabertooth 2x12 case cover to complete the back of the tank. The tank battery holders go between the tank side rails and can hold either dual 7.2V batteries or dual 3S lipo batteries. I recommend screwing four 3/8 inch screws into the top to secure the batteries, with O-rings holding them in place. The 7.2V batteries will require extra support at the top. You should use thin weatherstripping or door seal to prevent the batteries from moving around. Simply screw them to the bottom of the posts or the sides for extra support. The front track tensioner blocks work with 1/4 inch shafts, and I suggest using 1/4 x 3/8 x 1/8 sealed ball bearings on the shaft. A and B tank designs are supported - just note that the B design isn't fully finished yet. For mounting your tank switch, you'll need to screw it into the underside of the motor rail with short wires running to the controller. I've built this for a standard slide switch with ears. To build Tank drive covers, start by creating them with a raft and full support in place. The battery holders can be constructed without using a raft or any sort of support whatsoever.
