Great news.
I have just finished designing and printing a very cool charge adaptor for the track loader.
It will be available within the next couple of days.
The Charger can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2794970
I'm still working on this project. More files will come. More description will come.
This is my take on the Mini Track loader.
Instead of using an RC Remote I wanted something that would be more easy and lightweight to bring along with me on a daily basis.
So I redesigned the body to get more space inside for a Arduino Pro Mini, a Bluetooth module, a small 1s lipo battery, an on/off switch and a charging plug. Plus a little extra.
This Track loader is based on the files from @lijingwei

"This is a bigger track load using 9gram servo .
All parts are all redrawn based on Zedpi’s Mini Track Loader RC.
The Lego track is no more supported ,You have to print track with flex material .
The servo I'm using is emax es08ma , other similar 9gram servo should be ok but not tested"
Parts needed:
1x Arduino Pro Mini https://goo.gl/D2z6b4
1x Bluetooth Module https://goo.gl/hRQhzv
3x SG9 servos https://goo.gl/fRvFBf
1x On/Off switch https://goo.gl/78AyvA
1x 1s Lipo 180mAh https://goo.gl/Hp6TaL
1x 2 pin SH size connectors https://goo.gl/r2ni9r
Optional:
1x FTDI USB Adaptor https://goo.gl/Tt3dWA
1x Mini buzzer 5v https://goo.gl/62NGMi
1x Yellow 5mm LED
PAD-11 Crimp Tool https://goo.gl/U5KtBk
UPDATE 2018.01.15
The android app used to control the track loader is made by Andi.Co and can be found on google play store.

UPDATE 2018.01.17
The Arduino code is now uploaded.
It's a very modified version of the one Andi.Co has made.
UPDATE 2018.01.21
Schematic is done. Added here as a picture and in the Post-Printing section.
UPDATE 2018.01.22
Added description for modifying the belt servos in the Post-Printing section.
UPDATE 2018.02.09
Updated files section. I had made some fuckup in the wheels and track files.
Now you will have 2 options: Big track or Lego track. 4 files for each and they should be clearly marked.
