This was a fun to build and fun to drive, it's my fastest tracked vehicle that I have ever built, it utilizes the Red Beast's chassis assembly to power the tracks.

The Red Beast is a Lego RC car from 2003, it is the slower and weaker than the Dirt Crusher. So if a system like this was implemented on a Dirt Crusher chassis it would have better performance than this build.

Functions

-tracks are suspended on the frontal idler

-steering

-driving

I think I may be the first person to have finally found a solution for interfacing the "super axles" with normal axles.

that is sweet!

Do you think you could somehow mount the RC stuff inside one of your tanks for your next project?
