The file 'Tiny Turret Quad Track – Tiny Servo Driven FPV RC Tank – Tiny Trak 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 849.1KB.
This tiny FPV Turret Quad Tank uses Lego tracks driven by servos. It turns via skid steer. The tracks can articulate 30 degrees up and down for going over obstacles. The camera turret is controlled by a servo connected to the yaw on the receiver and allows for looking side to side while driving. (#TinyTrak) When designing the second iteration of this tank, my kids thought it looked like a Minion driving a tank.
To build you need the following:
-Four Lego tracks (Lego Part: x939 or 43903 - www.bricklink.com for best prices)
-Four servos (continuous [FS90R] or modify a regular one – Search "FliteTest 360 Degree Servo Mod" on YouTube)
-One (Regular) servo for the turret
-Receiver of your choice (the smaller the better)
-Mini FPV camera AIO (I used this one: AKK BA2 5.8Ghz 200mW FPV Transmitter Raceband 600TVL 1/4 Cmos Mini FPV Micro AIO Camera (https://www.akktek.com/akk-ba2.html)
-5v pololu step up/down regulator
-1s or 2s batteries (I used tattu 800mah); I ran two 1s batteries inside.
-Twelve M3-0.5 x 14mm socket cap screws/bolts (or similar) – you could use M3x12mm, but the 14mm are better.
-Twelve M3-0.5 Nylon lock nuts

This is my third Tiny Track design and second iteration of the Quad Track. (See the originals at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2977620) and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3464889).
A Note on Printing: All parts can be printed WITHOUT SUPPORTS. These files were designed with integrated supports. There may be some tabs to cut out (See Assembly Instructions).
Print:
-One Turret Body (has integrated supports)
-One Turret Chassis
-One Turret (or one Turret Upsidedown – depending on how you wish to print with integrated supports)
-One Disk (has integrated supports)
-Four Lower Suspensions (has integrated supports)
-Four Transverse Levers
-Four driven wheels (four of both Driven Wheel A & B)
-Sixteen Bogey Wheels (Non-drive)
Radio Set-up: When setting your radio up for controlling this tank, you will use Delta Wing mixing. This will mix the elevator and aileron signals to allow the tank to turn and move using only the right stick (for Mode 2 Radios). If using the turret camera function, that servo will be plugged into the Yaw signal port.
