Hydraulic Brake Steering - Tracked Amphibious Vehicle Build Ep. 12

Fabricating a hydraulic brake steering assembly out of two LADA hydraulic clutch master cylinders and brake fluid reservoirs, while using some steel, a welder and angle grinders. This handmade assembly in conjunction with the differential in the rear axle and separately routed brake calipers will provide the steering for this tracked amphibious vehicle when pulling levers separately: left lever for the left caliper and vice versa. When pulling both levers the vehicle will stop. The throttle will be operated via old snowmobile thumb throttle on the right lever which will regulate engine RPM and the engagement of the CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission, that is currently installed on the engine. This gives me clutch. Since the machine is geared down via CVT, the differential in the gearbox and the differential in the rear axle there will be no gear changing whilst driving. Max speed will be around 35 km/h and most probably it'll take off from stand still in fifth gear without any problems. Thanks for watching! More videos will come. Subscribe for more! Cheers!

👍 Great work, beautiful welding. I would want a foot brake plumbed in, for those "going down hill have-to stop right away" moments. I have a sand rail with that set-up.

[@W0RKS4ALIVING]

I've enjoyed watching your progress on this project. I think you are doing a great job and have one small suggestion: install Zerk fittings on all of your bushings, the parts will work better and last longer. Cheers, and keep up the good work!

Your welding metal working skills exceptional. 👍

[@zungruitelbitladnaternoche7305]

Fantastic work!... I'm totally spellbound. --- I bet on your 1st birthday you had a gift of a grinder. --- On your 2nd a mig welder. --- On your 3rd a steel lathe. --- On your 4th $20000 worth of miscelaneous tools. --- And before kindergarten an engineering degree. Dude you are amazing to watch. Can't wait for you to take it out for a spin to assess everything and make tweaking adjustments before finishing it off. And I sure hope for a full video of it's capabilities and limits. Thanks again. Your videos are gold...

Контрогайку надо тоньше, малейший перекос может привести к подклиниванию хода рычага. А так то да, всё по феншую, я б ещё медный спрей применил повсеместно, для облегчения разбора или возможного демонтажа конструкцЫии, ну на крайняк ЛИТОЛ или ЦИАТИМ. Лайк однозначно.
