Probably some experienced guys would say that too much grip mean difficulties to turn neutral on grass and drawn to much amp. to your motors.
In second I would say that some guides thooths would probably work better even if it's seemmed to work. Your super traction will probably trow off your track at the first turn... I'm not experienced a lot but i got a 80% tank hull that will maybe running this weeckend, but a lot of guys reduce their grip with flat tracks even let some screws heads out to run better on all conditions.. Out of that good work and make lots of testing cause tracks are cool but hard to master!!!

I do a lot of medical robotics during the day and mess around with RC stuff for fun. I was thinking about building a RC lawn mower because I figured it would be more fun to build the robot then mow my lawn. Plus sitting in the shade with a beer while I drive a RC lawn mower around the yard sounds great. Anyway, stumbled onto this group when looking at the track options. This page was really helpful http://www.rctankcombat.com/articles/track-systems/ and I got an idea that I wanted to see what people thought of it. I really liked the chain and bolt track idea. Using standard roller chain has a lot of advantages. Lots of sizes, strong, standard drive parts. But I did not like how all the load was on the chain and not the middle tread. Seems like you might not get much grip in some situations. So I started toying around with the idea of a custom tread, that you mounted to the roller chain. You could have various sizes, for different chain. Maybe even have different tread profiles to pick from. I 3d printed some parts to make prototypes and I ordered the materials to cast about 50-100 parts. I figured I would see what you guys thought. Maybe pick your brains. The final part would probably be injection molded. I do this kind of stuff at work so I have some contacts. Any comments welcome. The red ones match #35 chain and are 3" wide, the black match #40 chain and are 4" wide, and the white match #50 chain and are 5" wide. Maybe I am just missing something obvious since I have never build a tracked vehicle. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
