The T3 Mini Truck
Ok Folks, ill bring out the specifics for all of you. I know lots about this truck!
The batteries are 12volts each, there are 4 of them. They are wired in series, and weigh 80lbs each. They are marine batteries. The motor is a 6hp electric motor that was purchased from daewood, i think. It has disk brakes, neon lights, an air horn, strobe lights, and a siren. The bodys were created by our team. GM makes 1/3 scale models of all vehicles, so, we made a mold of the 97' sierra, and made bodies (4 of them) using molding of fiberglass and other materials. Our body colors are: red, yellow with blue flames, white with blue stripes, and our newest addition; hot-rod purple. We can tow a robot on the back of our truck, or on the trailer that attaches to it. Or both. We are planning to re-build the chassis (basically an old steel go-kart) to a lighter aluminum one this summer. We are also hoping to have different bodys for it; Hummer 2, Escalade, Denali, Silverado, are a few names that we have been asking our advisors to look into for us. We are defineatelly adding a lifting system to the truck, and to the trailer. Wether we use lead screws or pnumatics have not been determined. We will remake the entire trailer this summer. We want a plexiglass and polished aluminum body, and a wider wheel base. And rubber tires. We are also going to add more lights. Our final plans for the truck include a sterio. I will be putting this in, I hope. GM has gotten some speakers and amps for us out of H2's (all Bose), and we always have head-units laying around. Thank you for your interist in our mini-truck. Check back at our website later for detailed pictures. I'll go take some right away. |
