Fabricating Tracks - Tracked Amphibious Vehicle Build Ep. 19
Рет қаралды 2,964,517
Күн бұрынFabricating tracks completely from scratch for a homemade tracked amphibious vehicle. The track design is very simple. It consists of custom made steel cleats made out of angle iron and round bar and all cleats bolted on two strips of rubbery conveyor belt. I really don't need to worry about the pitch of the cleats since I don't use any drive cogs which teeth they have to match. The tracks will be driven by rubber tires by friction. There is a small lip on the cleat also to better the bite into the tire tread and avoid slippage. Custom bender had to be made for bending the track guides. Also a couple of jigs for welding were constructed.

Not sure which I'm liking more... the project, the way you work, watching how your mind works on "fabricating" a jig to make something work. I hope you don't burn yourself out. I've seen many young and older people with ingenious minds burn themselves out. I like the fact you're commenting more in your videos as well. This build is coming along quite nicely. Looking forward to seeing this all up and running. Cheers :)

Love the design. Most DIY tankers go all-metal for the tracks and they are difficult to make work reliably. Also the wear rate makes all-metal kind of unfeasable. This is genious!

I would say using some 1in (25.4mm) strap to make the "washers" and have it the length of one side (so its just one wide washer with the 2 whole in it) would work a treat, but my god drilling the holes would bout drive a man crazy lol. Nice work good sir.

You mean how will they not lean on the sides and drop off? The tracks will be held on with tension so the tracks are stretched on, thus they'll be straight.

A tip for doing productions type work like cutting the guides and angle for the track pads. When cutting, if your saw is able to handle thicker material, cut the main piece into half or quarters and cut 4 at a time. It will make the job of cutting much more efficient than just doing one at a time.

I bought a Hoot with plastic tracks, i see escargo has paddles on the sides of theirs to act as alignment keepers and paddles for the water propulsion. I do not want to increase the width thinking of making them to bolt through the rubber, bolting the traction cleat, rubber, and paddle on with same bolts. Thank you for sharing your videos
