WIP - 3D SKATEBOARD TANK
Hi everyone! As I keep working on the incoming videos of the big tank and as there's not much to do on that one as to wait for parts to print and assemble them, I've continued making progress on the skateboard tank. The 3D design is almost complete but I still need to figure out a few things but I already started printing the parts that I'm sure aren't going to change.
This is going to (hopefully) work as regular e-skateboard, acceleration is going to be done through a remote control on the hand and steering is going to be done by leaning on the top board as in a regular skateboard. There have been many challenges on the design, the tread (single) goes all the way around and the front and back assemblies have to swivel to allow for steering so the entire thing has to allow room for the tread to twist as well.
The propulsion is going to be done through a single (for now) Turnigy aerodrive SK3 192KV Brushless motor through a twin stage chain reduction which will hopefully be torquey enough to rip the thing apart before stalling.
I hope this one to be usable so there are a few steel and wooden parts in there that will help us on that goal.
Leave your thoughts below, thanks!!

Hi guys where do we download plans?
This is one I want to build for sure!
Make it hover or we won't be impressed 🤷🏻♂️😂
I guarantee impressment* (*Word pending of being invented)
It’s really massive 👍🏼 Can’t wait to see it in action.
Me neither! All is printed now but this assembly is going to take a while
Looks awesome Ivan, can't wait!
Thanks Thierry!
Woah, it's awesome. Questions... how fast? how far? when? 😂 Also... it's incredible
I'd say fast enough to be scary, should only go on soft terrains, sand, snow. When? I have a couple of weeks printing before I can do the assembly of the Mark I, I'd say there will be a video of this in a month, but before that there will be at least one tank video. Cheers mate!
