My Senior design project - a "Swamp Thing" tracked vehicle clone

[Garauld]

Interesting design. What's your drive sprocket plan? Engine size?

999cc four stroke Yamaha RX1, 140hp, 85ft/lbs torque. Very light motor.

Sprockets are currently metal but redesign this summer to pour polyurethane like Centerline Designs YouTuber Canadian snowcat builder just did. He’s got a great video on it.

Not to hijack this thread, but it would be interesting to see pics of your build, specs, drive/steering mechanism, etc,

Yes, I think Trackhead should open up a new thread with all the gory details of his build. Feedback from the community may save him some grief as like ArlyA did to my project.
