T-90A

[Tatrovak]

Hello everyone.

I present to you my next creation, it is a T-90A tank.
The drive is provided by 6 PF L motors, 3 for each track, 4 are in the back part of the body where they drive the drive wheels and two are in the front part of the body where they drive the tension wheels. Between the front engines is a manually operated mechanism for opening the driver's hatch. Above the rear engines are two buwizzys that power all the functions of the body and the tower. The travel wheels are suspended on swinging arms and sprung with torsion bars. In the center of the hull is a shaft in which the pedestal with the rotating mechanism of the tower is located. It is secured in place by four locking pins that are inserted from the side through the body walls, which ensures quick disassembly and assembly of the tower into the body.
The turret functions are: turret rotation, gun elevation, rotation and elevation of the remote controlled anti-aircraft gun , and are controlled by PF M motors, one each function.

That looks really nice, especially for a studless model!

[Tatrovak]

Thank you.

It's always nice to see tracks built like that.
I've used the same system in some of my builds, but in black, and inserted rubber track pieces in the middle to allow some stretch and maintain tension on the tracks.
The turret is impressive as well. It seems you have captured the iconic shape of the T90's turret beautifully.

I like it! I like how it looks heavy when it moves, like it's got a lot of momentum like a real tank, but it still moves at a decent speed seemingly quite easily.

Thank you Milan, the tower was particularly challenging, but I am satisfied with the results. I've been thinking about building a tank with such tracks for a long time, since I never liked the ones from Lego, I just needed to find suitable wheels. I originally wanted to use rubber link tracks like Sariel on his GAZ 3351, but I couldn't find those parts in sufficient quantity in the bricklink stores where I normally shop.

 

Thank you allanp, he has no movement problems, in that video Buwizzes is in normal mode so he can go even faster

Nice work!
I first thought that this isn`t a Technic build, but yeah, it is :)))
Keep up the good work!

[Tatrovak]

Thank you :)

The tank, as well as your work space, is amazing! I love how many functions you squeezed into the turret. I broke out into a big grin when the machine gun swiveled and elevated. Very nice build!

[Tatrovak]

Thank you :) it was important for me that the machine gun was remotely controlled like on a real T-90

[Rogue Redcoat]

Awesome, I love this! 

Are you exploring a way to fire the main gun, perhaps a small piece like Technic, Axle 2L Notched: Part 32062 | BrickLink? 

[Tatrovak]

Thank you, I was thinking about a functional cannon when building this tank, but among other things, it is a big problem to build a barrel so that it is passable and at the same time looks good, and in this scale it would probably be a problem to squeeze some firing mechanism into the tower.
