Your tank has a good construction, but no track auto tension. After not long use, the full-metal caterpillar may stretch and there will be problems. Better add a tensioner, like a real tank, until the work under transmission is not finished yet. I mean this thing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ6VmmRveK5_Y7s&ytbChannel=null

[@stevenrobertson9583]

I am ex-military and you need a adjustable idler wheel are you will always breaking your tracks

[@bobboboff5326]

Жена, молодчинка, помогала 👍. Моя бы меня из дома выгнала 🙄. Конструкция гусениц очень тяжелая и плохая. Эти сырые болты на 8мм сожрет через пару киломестроа. Все это делается элементарно их 40го уголка. А у нас, в Якутии, вообще пластиковые гусеницы делают любой ширины, длины и профиля 😎.

[@gomazirobot2049]

idk why people are hating on this dude. i mean cmon, the amount of time spent on the tank is long. and most likely you cant even do something better or the same. "bad craftmanship" yeah pal, really "bad" also this isnt a tank factory. its a garage.

[@JustMe-mg6vw]

Don’t let anyone’s criticism bother you. Every project is a prototype. A single unit only. I’m building a project too but I continue to modify it time and again. You have great skills!

[@SacrificeForYourSins]

You also need some criticism, because people watching may notice something that you didn’t.

[@PirateChiefPC1]

Excellent work. Machinist tip: When you have a lot of repetitive work, build a jig fixture to position the work in so you do not have to measure every single piece. One for your chop saw. One for your drill press.

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

I've no idea what you will do with this when it's finished but I am so impressed with your ingenuity, perseverance, fabrication skills and business acumen, well done.

[@Ratkill]

Great progress! You obviously have the drive to see a project like this to completion! Do not worry if you have to make changes, engineers are always updating their designs as they go.

[@KrSu]

Pro historical tip: if you want tracks to be more secure, you have to add small dots to every part of track as well as to every wheel add a little hole trough witch the wheels will push the dots and thus push the track as a whole. Look up tracks in tanks like: german panzer 3 or some newer tanks like Abrams and t70. Still great job and keep it up. Can't wait to see the final version.

[@АндрейКочедыков-т3ы]

Видно,что парень трудолюбивый,столько энергии и оптимизма! Жаль только,что такие трудозатраты и металлоёмкость гусянки, не оправдают себя! Километров на 100 пробега хватит,потом вытяжка, и как следствие несовпадение зубьев звёздочки с траками. Все эти болты и отверстия соединительных пластин , песок и грязь разработают как наждак......

[@АртемП-н7э]

[@StratePowerade]

I love how at 10:00 you have a glove on the hand holding the tool but not on the hand holding hot piece of metal that is next to a disk that is spinning incredibly fast :D but I still applaud the dedication

[@peterszar]

I wouldn't have used that particular way of connecting the track links, but in this case those slightly dome headed bolts, similar to a stove bolt, would more than likely work and stop the binding of the hex headed bolts.

[@Hacksaw37]

Watching you make the track I can't help thinking you have a lot of guts taking on a job like this. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@Dockhead]

yeah true, but the track and wheel system do need properly doing, as it didn't look like the wheels traveled flush within the shape of the track and them tracks need some form of cover and strengthening since the stress from wheels etc and no track tension will lead to wear which isn't repairable other than re doing it again, tracks might get exposed to rusting when they wear on the hard ground. also use locktite just as a attempt of safety of holding the bolts in as they might rattle and come lose if not torqued up, although this 'tank' isnt exactly a tank but then again he only has the hull structure made atm, a shell and engine and drive gear are going to add far more weight than the structure right now.

[@shanek6582]

Maybe put some bolt tensioning adjustments on the idler wheel to keep the tracks tight? Idk, looks like it’s going to work great the way you have it

[@a.ward02]

im very impressed with the amount of ingenuity within this series so far, cant wait to see the finished result.

[@uncbadguy]

Suggestion; tack weld every one of those track nuts and bolts. I foresee them failing under use otherwise. Putting those tracks together is something that I would definitely subcontract out.🤔

[@rustybum2]

Young man, I really salute your tenacity and pure skill with this ambitious project !

[@teeodee4924]

How are the tracks going to be driven? There needs to be spokes or similar for the drive wheels to make the tracks move. Smooth wheels will just spin inside the tracks.

[@ПетрСамофалов-й7м]

BRAVISIMO!!! Не спешите делать вывод, ещё не финал... КЛАССНЫЙ ПАРЕНЬ!!!

[@ernietorres502]

Your fabrication skills are incredible.

[@Dockhead]

this is actually what i need in life, been thinking of a project like this for years but ive never been able to make a start on getting or buying equipment capable of doing so.

[@borisbold3477]

Looking great! are you going to put a tensioner system on the tracks? another idea that would reduce noise might be to add rubber pads like bigger tanks. Still, your project is very impressive and I can't wait to see how it all works out.

[@besposhadniyNAFTIZIN]

good thought with rubber! also bolts between caterpillar tracks is very soft, friction quickly destroy them.

[@mojzg]

Jedan prijedlog. Kada kupis željezo odmah ga očisti od masnoće i obojaj temeljnom bojom. Šteta je da ovako zahrđa, a i čistije za ruke dok radis. Inače svaka čast za ovaj projekt.

[@DShomemade]

Hvala ti ;)

[@AllanWorks]

you should have used carriage bolts they won't hang up on the rims as much.

[@tacticalwizard7476]

There's no sprocket/cog so the the tracks will slip, the middle of the frame needs cross beams for reinforcement and it needs mudguards.

[@redsquirrelftw]

Been looking at lot of different track designs and I really like this one so far, looks fairly simple yet very effective.

[@podunk9798]

Many blessings upon whoever added the English subtitles. Fantastic project.

[@bwilliams463]

Scratch-built tracks; I'm impressed. I figured he'd acquire some old APC tracks or something.

[@Swfmco.]

I know for sure I would

[@CreativeBorneo]

for chains and bolts, why not burn it first, then dip it in oil, so it is strong. good work, you're the best

[@mattsvantassel4693]

I don't know about an idle wheel.. I think you should have an idle wheel that's spring loaded so it keeps the track tight.... I have a feeling when you get this built the tracks are going to come off when you try to turn this thing... VERY COOL IDEA I absolutely love it.. can't wait to see it when it's done... I have a great idea but nowhere to build it so I have to just hold off for a bit.. but good luck to you, keep going...

[@alexanderbailey4278]

Great idea with the bearings! If you need more tolerance if you want to add more armor later, I'd suggest a junk yard and grabbing wheel bearings from Chevy 's. 4 bolts and a wheel nut, with a good hammering gets them out and they will bolt on to anything! Junkyards sell em for $5-$10. Just a suggestion btw! It could have its cons I'm not thinking about😂

[@АнтипГлымов-ю1е]

Золотые руки! Браво парень!

[@dobeedooo]

Great work! Suggestion: When you drive over bumps, the suspended/springed wheel will compress and come into contact with the small rubber wheel above it - the contact area of the two wheels will have opposite directions of rotation, and the rubber vs metal wheel will act like a very strong stop. So when you drive over a bump, you will brake very hard. As an easy fix, consider maybe removing that small wheel.

[@yurimarciniak]

Good job man. Until here. But, i ve two questions: 1 - How do you intend to transmit engine powering to tracks? You don´t have theeth insite of tracks or wheels. 2 - Your project is getting heavy weight. Witch kind of engine (s) do you intend to use? Congrats for your work. Cheering for you!

[@garymucher9590]

I have to say, you have peaked my interest. I am not sure how you plan to drive the tracks yet, but I am sure you know how to do it. I will be waiting for the next installment for sure. Thumbs Up!

[@DarkestVampire92]

Well, this is the first thing on this tank that actually works as intended, so kudos to that. And since you just use car rims, a centerguide isnt necessary, but if you dont add a drive sprocket to drive this track, you´re in for a disappointing experience. Just throwing it out there, if you dont know.

[@brucemitch928]

DarkestVampire92 Thinking the same thing but I’m guessing he’ll be welding bars onto the steel rims to catch and drive on the track plates.

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Drive sprocket is absolutely needed - and probably a belt tensioning device. Since there is no centerguide and runners for them, and the outside guides are pretty low better not take too much dirt inside the tracks before turning. Thats when the tracks get thrown off. (Leopard 1 operator here)

[@toma1883]

I feel as though you heeded my advice on the rim bending. Good work on the renforcement, not entirely what I had imagined but I think that should do as long as in the end it doesn't end up crazy heavy.

[@DShomemade]

[@_MrBread]

This is great, but you might wanna invest in a track tensioner, you never know when your tracks might detracked.

[@BrianStoutPhotography]

A better idea for the bolts on the track would be carriage bolts. The domed heads would not have the friction that the hex bolts do.

[@etech2xwon59]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe even give them a tack weld on quadrants to keep them from moving around. Would have to grind part of the "square" under the head off to keep hole in matting piece round. I mean if he is going to do all the work he already has??? I'm sure he has already thought about it. Heck, a large dia. fine thread button head bolt would be better, but expensive. All are temporary as they will wear rapidly one would think. To get best operation IMHO a Flathead in a countersink would solve a lot of problems with wear and friction.

Ну, бери еще троих в команду и собаку!))) Отличная работа!

[@chuckc2613]

Really like how far you've got with this. I like that your trying something different and want to see how it works when it's complete. How and where do you plan to use this, or is it just to build it? Very curious about how you plan to deal with the following things, 1) suspension 2) track tension 3) drive sprockets 4) track stiffness

[@GarnettM]

Your going to need some kind of a torsion system or a tire inflation to take up the looseness of the track on cornering .

[@shanevoorhees3533]

Pretty cool, just needs a tenion wheel to adjust the trakes

[@evemaniac]

the connecting Links are the weakpoint of the trackchain construction. Take the links weld round steel bars in there . Make solid trackchainlocks out of 3times the thinkness of your current ones with 2holes for the bars and connect the holes with a slit.. drill the Locks 90degrees in the middle and thread one side for the screws i know its much more work but it will last and wont end with some seriuos injuries. Rotating metal pieces are realy dangerous. Look at some real tanks their track construction you need to copy as best as you could for stiffness and torsion stability. A steelbar should be welded to the tracks to give them something to grip into the ground otherwise it will tent be very slippery and in combination with a thoothless drivewheel has the potential to kill you and /or someone else too.

[@theelephantintheroom8016]

Not an expert and I applaud your work but may I offer a few suggestions. You may want to have rubber tires all the way around, I don't think you are not going to get the traction you need with the steel rims. You will need to have your drive axles hold tension on your tracks, which will have to be the back axle, You may need tension and probably drive on the front axle too. You may also want to bend your trackpads if you go with all rubber wheels to have a slite U in the middle so the wheels can't walk out of the track and pad the track surface that meets the ground with rubber to make them flat again. Just suggestion, you do great work!

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

I agree, with no suspension on those bogey wheels, you gotta at least have some pivot articulation and rubber. Maybe forklift bogies with solid rubber would be good? Either way, he is doing more about it than I am, so I have huge respect for the work and planning he has into it.

[@rodneywroten2994]

Tracks look AWESOME but how will the will rims grip with out spinning in tracks. Good luck

[@ExileElf]

That's a good question. Usually the tracks have "gear teeth" on the inside of their treads, then the drive wheel has teeth also to grab the treads.

[@macgyver5108]

Your tracks have a fairly major flaw that will cause them to come apart over time. The wheels will wear the bolt heads off eventually from the metal on metal contact! Should source some tires that will fit inside the tracks and fill them with expanding foam so you don't have to worry about flat tires.

[@TheAttacker732]

Expanding foam doesn't help too much. It just crumbles apart and the tire goes flat anyways.

[@TheAttacker732]

Metal tank tracks lasted a few hundred miles anyways... Most panzers only got at most 600 miles before needing brand new tracks. They're meant to be largely disposable. They break, you ship them back as scrap metal.

[@macgyver5108]
