RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Sorry for a long absence. Been very busy. Here is my latest project that I have been working on. I promised to build for my boys a rideable tank for them couple years ago.Finally have the time to fulfill my promise. Not done yet. Here is the 1/3 scale 3D printed Sherman Tank that my sons can now sit inside to drive it. Hope you all will enjoy it as much as my son did when I surprised him in picking him up with it after school bus dropped him off school. His big smile speak volumes ... hahaha
Here are the videos of my son riding and driving his own Sherman Tank. It is still work in progress. But at least he can play with it while I am printing the upper hull and turret.

An impressive project! Tell us a bit more about it - what materials is it printed with, what power drives it, what gearboxes and motors do you use?

Thanks! The tank was printed using PLA+. Motors are 36V 500W. Gear ratio is 18:1. Main gears are also 3D printed except the motor pinion gear. I used the #25 roller chain drive system.
