❄️Using a 3D printed massive tank tread, I create an ultimate traction machine for the snowboard.
⚙️The drivetrain includes gears, bearings, and a chain drive for increased torque and power.
🔌I use an electric motor with a reducer to control the speed and power of the snowboard.
🧰I 3D print custom parts, such as pillow bearings, to save costs and make the snowboard personalized.
🌨️Testing the tracked snowboard on various surfaces reveals its limitations and showcases its full potential.
How did you create the massive tank tread for the snowboard?
—I 3D printed the tank tread based on a design by RC test flight, scaled it up, and added bearings for smooth rotation.
What drivetrain components did you use?
—I used gears, bearings, and a chain drive to connect the motor to the tank tread, providing power and torque.
Can you control the speed of the snowboard?
—Yes, I used an electric motor with a reducer to control the speed and power output of the snowboard.
Did you encounter any challenges during the building process?
—Yes, I faced challenges such as breaking tracks, wiring issues, and mounting difficulties, but I found solutions for each problem.
How well does the tracked snowboard perform on different surfaces?
—The tracked snowboard performs best on snow, providing excellent traction and maneuverability, but it has limitations on other surfaces.
