PzI Video

Post by Woz »

Took my 3D printed Pz I out for a drive.

It didn't have enough power to turn on the grass but I was pleased that the tracks held up. This is the first time I've driven the printed tracks so hard and when the tracks did get snagged the tank cut out before the track broke.

Glad to see that the tracks held up, nice job. I assume you will be adding these to your list of products?

Look at him go! LOL! That little dude did better then I thought he would, you did a great job!

Looks like he'll turn on grass just not a 360 spin but a gradual turn it can do?

Hi Warren to be fair the grass was more like jungle than a lawn , last year at the Yorkshire show we had some tuft grass which loads of tanks had problems with turning and getting stuck in the drive sprockets . Your little tank ran great even in stuff that a full metal tank would struggle, well done running indoors I bet its perfect.
