I honestly believed it couldn't be done in a good working manner...
Donken made a basic concept and showed it to me, from there we both worked on it and we ended up with this rather awesomely working thing.

is it driven by rotators or? it was tempting to try to make a tank with tracks but i knew it would stress me out to much, lol. Great work

Me too! I have not the slightest idea how this can be done, but the result is beyond expectations!

Really impressive!

I just HAD to come back from the 'dead' to say
OMG!

You finally did it, dudes! Looks so much fun!

OMG this is so cool. A quick ? do the tracks get the same amount as traction on the ground as tires do

Bonehead · « **Reply #13 on:** December 08, 2007, 09:15:30 PM »

From what I've noticed tracks get way more traction.

cedartowndawg · « **Reply #14 on:** December 08, 2007, 09:24:44 PM »

awesome and the maneuverability looks incredibly good

kevinmce · « **Reply #15 on:** December 08, 2007, 09:33:00 PM »

Bravo!!! Really smart design...

Any chance of a few iso pics so i could try replicate the concept?

Condor33 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 08, 2007, 10:25:02 PM »

You and donken are now demigods. I knew tracks could be done, but this is SO SIMPLE! I never even dreamed it would be this easy. Only one question: Can the tracks function without the shock-triangle-things on top? If they can, someone REALLY ought to make one of these.

Sweet.

yes it does work without the shocks. the shocks is just there for better stability, the tracks is jumping around in higher speeds without it

and here is pics without it it:

i thaught that wasnt possible but i see now it is

and i want that soo mutch

dieselfuelonly · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2007, 12:18:47 AM »

So am I correct in the following:

The tracks function similarly to how the boom on the crane does, they are guided along by the "wheels".

And the "wheels" are driven by a rotator, like on the base of the crane?

Donken · « **Reply #21 on:** December 09, 2007, 12:32:51 AM »

the wheels are rotators yes. and what you mean about the crane boom thingy i dont understand xD the tracks are only 4 nodes in a square each with 100% transperant submesh. and to hold the tracks in place sideways i have done side fenders that covers the hole inside and outside. so the tracks can only go around the wheels =) it uses alots of cheating and transperant submesh

Joebus · « **Reply #22 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:11:21 AM »

That is truly amazing. I can allready see some amazing builds stemming from this marvelous creation.

that means the game has a very accurated way of traction (only on some parts it may be better, smal fixes)

Bonehead · « **Reply #24 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:20:11 AM »

Well yes, it's logical since there's almost twice the amount of nodes constantly in contact with the ground compared to wheels.
