I love where this is going!! I really wanted to build my own tracks for this season, but a serious lack of time and an abundance of other projects meant it made more sense to just buy them again. I’m hoping that this summer I can get time to redesign the lower half to use larger pneumatic wheels that smooth out the ride on rough ground.

Just from your experience driving a tracked jeep, do you think the bigger bottom two wheels that Rudy designed would be better than the several small wheels like your tracks have? Of course i can see your point of putting pneumatics on the bottom half of yours. You & Rudy should have a match off when he gets his done🤣🤣 Maybe when you go back to Utah in March to judge the tow truck Olympics?🤣🤣🤣 I wonder how the tracks would be in the sand?

I agree.. I suggested to use Honda bearings. They are wide double bearings, and it would give him a surface on each side to weld on little triangle gussets outward to the wheel -- which would also make the wheel stronger; and the shaft size would then be much larger and not that little bolt. I think that would work well-- but cutting out the centers well really needs a lathe to do it right.... That's just the first thing that came to mind. Those double bearings that Honda uses are pretty bulletproof. (or Toyota wheel bearings).

@schnell356 Жыл бұрын
I agree that the large idle wheel bearings appear sketchy at this point and only support minimal lateral load with their thin metal sidewalls. Hard turning may lead to more lateral stresses than you may think. Are the bearings fully road-worthy? Would a single fat wheel or two adjacent narrow wheels at each end of the track and supported with outboard bearings provide more lateral stability? If I understand your design correctly, it seems like the track tensioner rod is in compression subject to bending under the vehicle load and against track tension. It could be inverted so that the weight of the vehicle contributes to the track tension and the adjustment threaded rod is also in tension. Potentially a stronger orientation if the tension rod fails, the vehicle weight can still help keep some track tension.

The tracks are looking great and I'm impressed with your ability to prototype on the fly. If the 12" wheels give you trouble plasma out some 3/8" Hardox 450 plates with drive spokes on them to help retain the tracks. Hardox plate is weldable with sg2 wire or 7018 rod unlike AR plate, will last longer and is stronger than mild steel. I would also recommend using a sealed hub assembly on the 12" wheels to prevent water from seizing them and to give them better side load/thrust strength.

Nice project, I'm already waiting to see Rudicon on the tracks in the snow. The durability of the wheels and, above all, the bearings must be strong enough and waterproof. Snowmobile rollers are usually used in the tracks. The tensioning of the track should be directed towards the back, so that it does not receive shocks in the terrain. Most of them come from the front when the roller hits an obstacle, stone, etc. The increased weight is probably not a disadvantage, because the car's center of gravity rises higher, so the additional weight brought by the rollers only stabilizes the car. In addition, the rollers are usually not driven at high speed, in which case the suspension and shock absorption can cope with the additional weight.
@peterdenbreejen9838
@peterdenbreejen9838 Жыл бұрын
One question, if you go over an obstacle, your little wheels are nearly FIXED and don't move enough in the upwards / downwards movement, will be a problem. Make then more so you have done with that problem. Look at a track from a tank as example.

In terms of how you're putting the tensioning arms together, the most accurate measurement is the one you don't need to measure. Using the frame to keep stuff aligned is totally a valid option. My main concern with the 12 inch wheels is that they're going to buckle once you put some side load on them like steering.

I mentioned this in the last video, but quite late, so I'll say it here again. I'm sure this is way too late, but just in case, your tracks need to be somewhat turned up on the front. If not, the first time you encounter an obstacle with any speed faster than a crawl you'll likely snag on it rather than go over it. Even then you'll still snag stuff, just not as bad/often.

@Rudys Adventure and Design - Great work so far. I just worry that the attachment to the hub way out at the end is going to be an Achilles heel. What if you added a bolt on bracket that attaches on the inside (nearest the Jeep frame) to the brake caliper mounts with slightly longer bolts, attach a swing arm to the bracket, and put that swing arm onto the frame of the tracks. It would add stiffness on that back side and in theory still allow the whole track to swing as the front of the track lifts up and down going over obstacles. Hope that's making sense. Also, you may want to consider putting bearings into the area where the small wheels attach to the track frame. They look like they will be constantly see-sawing as the tracks move. Without a bearing they'll likely get hogged out pretty fast even when driving over smooth terrain.
@gsm1586
@gsm1586 Жыл бұрын
That hub is definately a weakness in the design. In the automotive application that hub resides within the inside/outside of the wheel. Having it that far outside the tracks will place a different load on the hub. Also, if and when the hub fails, the whole track will fall off the vehicle. As Mike Jones says, for the tracks, it would be better to create a structure inside and outside of the drive wheel.
@lynnbartels4183
@lynnbartels4183 Жыл бұрын
I would think you would want the hub/bearing attached to the middle disc (on truck hub) rather than the outside disc. Currently, the force will have to transfer via angle iron to the vehicle hub/axle. A lot of leverage in this design will be the weak link.
@supra661
@supra661 Жыл бұрын
@@lynnbartels4183 I'm not sure how he could fit that hub in a more central location with the design he has. However, by adding a brace on the inside of the tracks it would in theory alleviate the stress created by the lever arm that's hanging off the hub right now. Goal is to move the point where the force is effectively applied ... Into a more central location, without having to relocate the hub. In theory it should work just about as well. Only downside is having to disconnect something from the back/inside of the tracks in addition to the 4 hub bolts on the outside of the tracks when removing them. Still, if the bracket attached to the caliper mounts is designed right it could stay permanently on the vehicle and use a bolt through a heim joint to connect/disconnect the inside track brace.
@lynnbartels4183
@lynnbartels4183 Жыл бұрын
How about connecting the center disc to the outer disc with a large diameter pipe that fits inside the vehicle hub bolt pattern, but over the wheel hub. This will transfer the load directly to the new bearing and track structure in a robust design from the vehicle hub.

When you started on them at first I figured that you had been in discussions with Casey about them, and he confirmed it on one of his videos, so the fact that you have his experience and use to help out is immense. It will be interesting to see when they are done how they hold up, and I'm also going to be curious as to how they weigh out versus the ones that Casey's running on is Track Jeep. It's the people like you that experiment and make their own systems that sometimes causes the original designers to change how they do things because they see things you have done and go "hmm - why did we do or not do that".

I'm afraid the bearings on the 12" wheels will fail quickly as they are not designed for the weight and use you are intending on subjecting them to. Just hope you have a few spares when you do go out to test out the tracks so you can get it back. Great work on the designing otherwise.

Epic project and mad skills to make it happen. I have some reservations on your behalf regarding dynamic loads. Few ideas; 1. Consider moving adjustment to the rear of track so it's not crashing into everything, 2. larger bearings with big rolling elements are normally needed to deal with shock loads 3. Try to load in shear rather than bending. Those adjustable wheel mountings are likely to get all bent up.

One heck of a project, and yes, it would be miles easier, and maybe money ahead, to buy the readymade tracks. Kudos for your confidence to take on such a project. Those 12" solid rubber wheels with cheap bushings are not going to hold up. There's got to be a more robust industrial conveyor belt tire that would work.

As I started to watch I was going to type about a KZbin couple in Idaho that built there own and have plan’s available. Low and behold before I could type you mentioned Ambition Strikes. Great Shout out. They used to be in the local 4x4 club where I live and had a 4x4 shop and then did 4x4 parts manufacturing. Great people.

Hello all. Just a short note. I just met Rudy in person at a gas station. What a nice and friendly young man. I am sure he had better things to do than spend a minute talking to me. Thank you Rudy! You made my day. Safe travels.

Great job Rudy that's awesome. I don't know why I thought the 12" wheels are normally pneumatic on commercial units.

Looking good. Enjoy watching you work through this process. I always wait till the next video to see if you answer my thoughts and concerns. So far about 90% questions answered. If will weight more than the tires.
