T-4-B Prototype race tank

6,468 Typhlosion130  7.7 years ago

FIXED minor issue where I was 3 feet over the wing span limit for entering into dirty run tournament.
A working prototype racing tank
turret is static and unmovable (part reduction. will upload a non limited versoin later maybe)
It runs on a single engine currently. giving enough power to let it finish about 1:17 in riding dirty.

After getting the idea from Marcox43 I decided to try out and build some tanks. this is the fourth model out of 5 models I tried building. before going back to this one and getting it to work.
Reason I built this is because of how smart the idea is once you go past a first glance. given you put some down force on it. its 100% better than a normal buggy or 4 wheel racting vehicle.
You have more traction and you can build a very simple suspension per wheel.

So this is my first working prototype.

    @marcox43 Actually I just uploaded a new one that I no longer considr a prototype. 1:08(axrox) reliable both sides. still makes ring 6 turn. thank you so much for the inspiration for this. (side note. this is 100% built from scratch except the rear wing. and the front wing is the rear but heavily modified)

    @Typhlosion130 impressive desing, less top speed but more turn at ring 6, while mine goes like a rocket xdd
