So I have long loved tanks, had been drawn to them since childhood, I got into the WoT beta in middleschool and loved it. In highschool I learned 3D design and built a 3D printer, now I have this:
This is a 1ft wide functional mockup. It has over 5hp of brushless motors and can go about 30mph in its current form, limited by the strength of my 3d printed track. I am currently in the process of sourcing parts for a more finalized version, which would use rubber track. be much faster, and much lighter.
Here is a peak at what that may look like.
Think I'm wasting my time? because I kinda think that if i were to try to sell these there would be enough people who would say "Shut up and take my money" to make this worth my while. It would not be cheap though, at least not the first version, I am trying to hit about a $500 cost of materials and about double that for sale price.
Thought id just throw this out there and see what people think, I know one things for sure, everyone who sees it in person thinks its ridiculously cool
