coen Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) hey this is the new topic about my tank: dimensions: 100cmX50cmX35cm 20 X light left tracks: 4 XL motor's right tracks: 4 XL motor's side pods: 2 motor's engine: 1 motor pneumatic's system 3 motor's master switch 3 motor's Turret: Rotation 4 motor's horizontale position 3 motor's shooting mechanisme 4 motor's And what ever come's in mind, i dont care........... i'm thinking about using 2 micro motor's but they are kind of hard to find them ( if you dont want to pay 35 euro for it ) the motor you see is a rotating star ( 6X8 ) cillinder engine. de pistons rototate clockwise and the cilinders anti clockwise, look's pretty funny. this is the goal: there is 1 electric connection behind a cover. you hook that on a battery pack. now you kan turn the system on, ( you only give power to the 3 motor's that will turn the battery packs inside the tank on). these 3 motor's engage the other battery packs in the tank and the turret. there are 2 systems that will always run: the star engine the pneumatic system the pneumatic system are two things: A 4 cilinder compressor with 2 airtanks ( 2 motor) A 1 cilinder compressor (actualy just for show, but it works. 1 motor) pressure valve. this control's the motor's by shutting them down at 2.4 bar en turning them back on at 1.5 bar. System's on a reciever: driving driving ( 8 XL motor's ) 2 channels the side pods (2 motor's) 1 channel the turret horizontale position ( 3 motor's ) 1 channel rotation (4 motor's) 1 channel shooting (4 motor's) 1 channel so i need 6 channels, 3 remote's........ but i have 4.......... so.......... any ideas???? hahahahaha the rest of the component's will be controlled by switches on the tank for the power i am thinking about using the rechargeable ones Edited August 4, 2011 by coen Quote
Nazgarot Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Hi, Good luck with this massive MOC. Is it supposed to be a recreation of something from a film or similar? -ED- Quote
coen Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Hi, Good luck with this massive MOC. Is it supposed to be a recreation of something from a film or similar? -ED- hi ed, well, a copple of years ago i saw a documentery about superstructures made by adolf hitler in de 2nd world war. he was a megalomaniac ( and out of his mind ofcourse, i wanna be clear that i am NOT a hitler fan ore some kind of idiot!!!!) but one of his plans was a mega tank about the same size as my tank ( in scale ). i saw the bleuprints of it and i always wanted to build a lego structure with absolutely no limits what so ever. so 2 years ago i got started. it began as a small model of about 20cm wide en 35 long. but verry soon it became to small so i yust build it bigger and bigger. so the idea came from the 2nd world war but it's not a replica, i have al the freedom of the world. But i dont have a name for it yet, does anybody has an idea? many many pictures will follow Quote
Nazgarot Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 But i dont have a name for it yet, does anybody has an idea? May i suggest "the Bahamut" (A creature so big and fearsome that no mere human can bear it's sight). You can read more about the name here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahamut Or you could use the more known "Behemoth" in some combination. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behemoth -ED- Quote

coen Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 what about B.U.T.T.? What is a B.U.T.T???? some new pictures from my phone By the way, this is probably a very stupid question.......... but....... what does MOC means? coen By the way, this is probably a very stupid question.......... but....... what does MOC means? coen Quote
DLuders Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 MOC = My Own Creation B.U.T.T. = Big Ugly Technic Tank (I think) Quote
coen Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 hi, i saw some chrome cillinder, does anybody know's where i can find them? Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 B.U.T.T. = Big Ugly Technic Tank (I think) Correct! Quote
basbase Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Hey Coen nice project you got there. If your mammoth tank can handle some more weight you could consider using some rechargeble lead-acid batteries. I think they are relatively cheap and they would spare you the hassle of changing all batteries in each batterypack. Downside is that they are quite heavy. Quote

coen Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 So, this is what your idea came from? A beast for sure... Yes, exactly! thanks for the link, i couldn't find any pictures of it. Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 That's indeed a "super"tank! Looking forward to see it finished! Quote
Tadej Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 It looks awesome and everything, but I don`t think that technic bricks give enough rigidity for such big models. Quote
coen Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 It looks awesome and everything, but I don`t think that technic bricks give enough rigidity for such big models. yes it is verry difficult to make the hole model strong enough. some elements almost crack deu to the stress on it. but that's the challenge of it! yesterday i made battery packs and saw the tank moving for the first time in 1 year, it runs beautifully on its tracks!! foto's will follow!!

Wow... Now that is big! Have you count the parts? Good luck and it would be exciting to see it on action! Quote
Burf2000 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) This is my sort of topic I love big creations and yours is looking good I am currently building a 5 foot robot (2nd one I have done) and using a mind sensor ps2 controller. That allows me to control lots of motors (paired with a PF sensor) Could someone fix the pictures as they don't all load Edited August 25, 2011 by Burf2000 Quote

That allows me to control lots of motors (paired with a PF sensor) Could someone fix the pictures as they don't all load that's cool, but did you have to modify the wire's?? i want to use 4 lego remote control's. how do get the power for the robot? battery packs? i have to use about 9 battery packs that's just rediculous Wow... Now that is big! Have you count the parts? Good luck and it would be exciting to see it on action! hahahaha it's impossible to count all of the parts, i do know that there are 1000 thread peices 8 xl motor's and 20 normale one's and a huge pneumatic system thru the whole model ( 6 compressors and 3 airtanks. but becouse the model is changing all the time i have no idea how many parts i used so far, i own about 150 lego technic model's 50 lego system models and lot's more. but í am running out of parts, there is not one model i didn't use parts from. just to imagine how many parts there, the model weight now is 13.5 kilo's this is without battery packs and not even half way done Quote

The PS2 controllers is worth a look, its brilliant. Currently wired up to 3 rechargeable packs (5 pf receivers) and 1 NXT running 3 motors. I own around 900 models plus a lot of bulk and I still run out of parts. Quote
