In this video I will be making this remote controlled miniature tank, which can also fire a projectile. My plan is to make the circuit first and build the body of the tank around it. I will explain the circuit components in short. Drive motors are two 9g servos converted to gear motors. Also I have removed the circuit from the servo and gearing is changed to increase the output speed. Brain of the circuit is an Arduino Nano. Two speed controllers are used for the motors. A Bluetooth module to receive the signal from mobile. A small modified 3.7 g servo for rotating the turret. And MOSFET for controlling the firing mechanism. Ignition for the firing mechanism is a thin fuse wire bridged across output wires from MOSFET. Once the circuit is finalized, measurements are taken and the body of the tank is designed in Fusion 360. I have used diagrams of T-14 Armata as reference while designing. Most of the parts are 3D printed in PLA and the load bearing suspension components printed in ABS. Spring for the suspension is taken from an old winding toy car and the axle is made from a 4mm stainless steel tube. All sixteen idle wheels are made from PLA and the drive wheels are made from ABS. Wheel stops are also 3D printed in ABS. After assembling the idle wheels, two drive motors are fixed. Then Both halves of the body are glued together. A 3D printed circuit holder is also glued in the middle. A micro USB port is added in the back for charging the battery. My first plan for the track was to use 3D printed links, but it turns out that my 3D printer doesn't have the accuracy to print those small parts. Then plan B was to use a GT2 belt to make the track. But it turns out that those types of the tracks are too stiff. So I went with tracks made with an ID card tag having rubber strips glued in the middle. Now I have two big problems. Track is slipping from the drive wheel and the drive motors are stalling since they don't have enough torque. Guess what! because I changed the gearing. So I dismantled everything and swapped the drive motors with a new one without changing the gearing. Also I tested out different types of drive wheels and ended up using the one with spikes. Miraculously it worked like a charm. Now let's make the top part of the tank. After spray painting it, the motor for rotating the turret is also fixed. Turret is driven by internal gearing. Power supply to the firing mechanism is also taken through the cover. The firing mechanism has three main components. Barrel is made from a stainless steel straw. Barrel and chamber have locking legs and can be locked by rotating 30 degrees. When power is supplied, fuse inside the cartridge will burn the propellant firing the projectile. Main part of the cartridge is taken from an old Christmas light. I am highlighting each part in the diagram below while I am making it. Matchstick heads are used as propellant. Both the white colored part and projectiles are 3D printed in ABS. Diameter of the projectile is 4.5mm. Chamber has two brass contacts to give power to the cartridge. Turret doesn't have full 360 degree rotation due to the wires to the firing mechanism. I am using a blank cartridge to do a test fire. I have added a few extra things just for aesthetics. Tank weighs a total of 375 gram. Operational procedure goes like this, plug in the battery. Single click to switch it on and double click to switch it off. Plug in 5V USB to charge the battery, battery level is shown in the BMS circuit. Top cover can be screwed in place or press fitted.
"This video took a while to make. Probably because it's complicated(or maybe because Big Bang Theory has 12 Seasons). Blooper :- 10:27 and 10:34 you can see a blue lighter I left in the scene (I tried to hide it with masking but didn't worked well)
" This one is a class apart Bibin. The engineering, ingenuity, attention to detail, the production quality of the video everything is on another level. And the fact that you managed to bring in creativity and fun in the format is the cherry on top. Brilliant work. Absolutely love this one and looking forward to the next one.
"This is amazing ?? I love how you explain details ... And show the failures and rectification or modifications ... Thank you for sharing your creativity , experiments and end results with us . ??????
" "You always amaze us with your incredible creations??! Tank is just awesome and the creation of battle scene is ??. The detailed explanation with those animations were just right????.

Great talent and more than anything hats off to your efforts n dedication. Keep up the good work????
" Well crafted fully functional miniature model ??. Each model coming from your stable is better than the previous one. I was wondering why it was taking so much time. Now I completely understand the engineering effort gone behind this master piece. It was worth the wait.
I was waiting for this since I know you were behind this. This is the best! Hats off man! Loved it! It came out really well, awesome presentation ????
Though this project took a bit more time to finish than the previous ones,the outcome was really worth the effort put. I was really thrilled to see the cute and smart RC tank moving around firing and fighting in a heroic style. Eagerly awaiting for the next project though the theme is unknown to me.
Please put a small indian flag in it people would love tha ??
The 3D Render in Fusion 360 turned out really good. The Michael Bay Outro was spot on!
amazing idea mate, i wanted to build one myself, well well the chassis was a bit of a pain in the arse cause of my lack of tools and a bad type of wood, good thing i built the turret first, so even without a chassis i can still shoot stuff :D
This is awesome dude!!! You did great! Keep up the good work man!!!
I came across your channel today and immediately subscribed to you. You are incredibly talented! I enjoy watching your great videos, thank you very much.
That's nice and cool, I love such mini crafts and working models , Thanks for that ??????????
You rock man! Great work ????
Amazing work! Lots of action! Keep it up!
"Good work ! Can you make a mini rail gun, (Is it practically possible to scale down a rail gun ?? ) Haven't seen such a convincing efficient scaled down model of it anywhere..
" Best one yet Sagaram. pwolich. i was looking at the comments yea that suggestion about changing name of the channel to something related to your work will help i guess. You are doing a great job, ur videos must reach more people. proud of you Da :)
This is amazing!
Felt like I am watching a War movie trailer from 9:15 ?? man, your talent at next level.. fantastic.
