This is a slide show of my homemade mattracks made for my trike to haul firewood and timber out of the forest during the winter. Video shows a standard 25mm, 3mm pipe milled down to 2mm for fitting a bearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb0_dhGiKVk First video in the homemade ATV tracks build series. This time I'm welding together the sprockets and turning bearing brackets and rear axle wideners in the lathe. See DIY sawmill. On ebay "personal tracked vehicle" plans.

I would recommend using non o-ring chains if you were going to replicate this as the rubber o-rings didn't really like the heat of the welding!﻿ aming I think what John was asking, how is the drive going to be split, if it is only a single engine with no transmission then its the same as having a locked diff in a car and won't turn. He could possibly mount another two small centrifugal clutches on the rear sprocket with mountain bike disk brakes attached to each.  That would give him some slip in the final drive line and independent brake control of each track.  Good work EpicBuild.

Snowplow

The result is a miniature version of a true snowplow, caterpillar tracks, with blade and light projector mounted on top to light the way in the dark; everything is controlled by a remote control from the PlayStation 2. Let us see how our caterpillar robot is assembled, starting from the mechanics and then describing the electronics and firmware that is necessary.

Drill 10mm spaced holes around flat bar that has been wrapped over 5mm steel disk. Wrap solid cut piece of scrap tire around this flat bar and countersink holes for M6 bolts.

Simplicity, combined with strength and intelligence are the key genes for a prevailing species and TREX has inherited them. It did not happen overnight; TREX is the result of 8 years of intellectual evolution and countless hours of experimentation.
