RC Tank Modified Wheels

thingiverse

This is a remix of the drive wheel and bogie wheel for the RC Tank created by Staind (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2414983). Also incorporated is a bogie wheel remix done by edwardchew (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2952438). Please note that I haven't tried running these yet as I haven't finished building my tank. The reason for the remix is that I felt dirt and other debris could get caught between the track and the wheels causing wear and breakage problems so grooves around the outer circumference of the wheels were added to allow dirt and small pebbles to escape and allow the track to hopefully remain seated flat on the wheels. I also added holes/slots to lighten up the wheels a little and add a little "bling" to the otherwise flat looking design. The photo shows one of the bogie wheels with the holes. These holes go all the way through the wheel. This also creates openings in the channel for the track guide so that dirt won't be trapped within the channel. These should mount exactly the same way as the stock wheels. You may or may not need supports when printing due to the channel for the track guide pin. It all depends on how your particular printer prints.
