I like your tracks. they look like the ones we been having for the last 8 years. I have a question. Have you thought about the turning on the two center wheels. and are you aware of the tracks you are using will rip in half if you over load them. It looks like you should of gotten the stronger belts.


How many motors are you running with thoses tracks?


We use 2 drill and two Chip. we run it at 450 rpm with a 24 to 36 gear down for more power. We just rip another of the stronger belt this year so beware. 1400lbs of torque will rip ours and 750lbs will rip your belts.


Still nice job on the robot I like seeing more tanks out there.
