ah i see ..... hmmm, ok so he's making the track stay at its place with "double wheels" and the thingie on the tracks that goes in this gap between the two wheels .... seems i'll have to re-do my drive-wheels as they are to thin for this type .... something like this looks nice http://www.rctankcombat.com/articles/track-systems/42PlasticPerformance-large.jpg so maybe combining the tyng build method with the hold-in-place style of this one would be nice.
what kind of tank is it .... hard to say, its not supposed to be combat tank (there wont be any airsoft/poaintball equipment in it) basicly its jsut a project to learn new stuff, i'm trying to make simple UV. my tank has whole computer onboard (900mhz, 256mb ram, 8gb usb drive, wifi, umts), a bounch of sensors (accel, gps, mic, cam, distance) and will be able to move on its own, or radio controled from my laptop. (tank will is accesible everywhere you have a phone signal, well if signal is bad, you cant have a ž live video, but you can still give commands to your tank.) currently i'm only testing all the stuff, so my tank doesnt have a look realy, but once i'm done with this part (just the tracks left), i'm getting a new hull from aluminium, friend will cut it for me on laser, so then i'll decide how do i want my tank to look like.
