I think it needs bigger front idlers and another set of bogie wheels to limit the amount of uncontrolled track since it has a rubber belt holding all the track bars together. If they were linked together with short pieces of steel to each c channel that still allowed them to pivot around the wheels it would probably work better as well but that would be a whole lot of work to drill all those holes in exactly the same spot. Lol
That 606 runs lovely . Im a huge fan on that engine . Ive mates in turkey who have them fitted in landies very tuned . 6 700 hp . Black reek everywhere lol just how i like it hahaha . Hope u and family are all well . All the best look forward to ur next vid u take care bud . Enjoy ur weekend . .... ian ....
Yup I was thinking the boggie wheels were a bit small and the track was very floppy.👉👉 Than the track came off.👍👍 Let your friend know.🤔🤔 He could replaces the wheels with ones twice the hieght and thickness of the originals. This will keep the track from pivoting on the wheels. Plus running a cable through the guide loops on the tracks and tighten it will remove the slack. Then the tracks are less likely to come off so easyly.
I was going to say that machine may throw a track on the easy side. That's the shits. The track machine I use it's impossible to throw a track. Only way is if you break all 3 belts at on time. That's going to suck if he throws a track in 2 feet of mud.
She needs an extra dolly to bballance the hull less diving and that front ends toast, in fact it needs a running gear tare down, being a soft track it’s more prone to throwing a rack with aggressive tread and low tension plus the flex due to distance between the tread where a traditional track pin would be in close together, consider looking into a different “link” design to limit flex/twist. Lots to play with.
That was brilliant, its a shame that the creator lost interest in it. Its a cross between a car and a tank, maybe call it "Cank" lol. No a car and a tank is not a wank or a plank :)
There's a place up the road from me, in southern Maine, that makes something very similar. Ripsaw. Cleetus McFarland also just sold his to Mike Patey. Two other famous Internet celebs like you. The suspension on the Ripsaw looks more substantial though, and they have road tracks. This looks decently functional though, and like it costs a lot less. Not sure it belongs in Ukraine, a lot like the Russian T-55s that are headed there, I don't think it's wise. In the Russian case, well it will make good videos, but I don't want to see you end that way. But I liked it anyway.
That's cool well thought out. The tracks and drive sprockets remind me of the early snow tracs that had a beetle air cooled engine. The sprockets were bronze and ment to wear out.😁
Sure if you were on Ukranian eBay you could probably find tracks & drive sprokets for a BMP-3. They use double wheeled bodgies. Quite a few BMPs have mysteriously spontaneously combusted over there in the past 18 months. Some track shouldn't be too difficult to come by.
If your really considering taking to a war zone. Might want to think about adding some armor plating and test it deep thick mud. Remember it's not a vacation over there
Track tensioning setup is crap a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure regulator would keep the track just right on whatever pressure is set, because the cylinder would be able to fluctuate according to tension and pressure.
There was a time when a nordy lad with a homemade tank would have caused a full scale security alert 😂😂😂😂
This cracked me up somethin' fierce 😂
not a simple project, and to get it working great like that is a real accomplishment. love it.

Thank you for going over the machine slowly with the camera. I live off that shit!
That is absolutely bloody brilliant i can see that being great fun
She needs some 1/4" cable run along the outside of the rubber, help keep the sprocket walk under control. 606 sounds great, pretty damn sweet!
That was pretty awesome!
Looks like it needs a bit of work yet for the track tension, but overall .. she's a beauty!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

a couple of flanges either side of the drive sprockets would help a lot
OM606 have a super sound and ITS a super strong engine ....and engine sound is top dollar 👍🏻👍🏻😊

Very clever,, love that merc engine, sounds great
Really close to 100k now!
I expect you will get that silver button before I see your next video Allistair. 👍
Fun bit of kit it'll be great to see it going flat out maybe with some mods to the tracks
Very interesting design nice to see someone making something it works well
That thing is hideous! But damn it I want one!! 😂
Different and fun machine!
Its cool and pretty well thought out. But longevity i don't know.
Looks like a Howe and Howe Ripsaw prototype. That is very cool be a sweet Med Evac. vehicle if ya put some ERA tiles on the sides

Lil bit cheaper than McFarland rig!
how much did mike pay for that ripsaw??

Looks like tracking that machine will be easy enough! LOL It sounds great.
Please do not let my kids see this thing. They'll want one!😃
Enjoy it? Ffs I loved it
When you order a ripsaw from wish 🤣🤣
Cool video
LOL. Yes, it's like a poor man's ripsaw! Pretty awesome.
Your going to have to build one of them for your Uncle Drew
Use a V8 Dodge ram base unit & It'd be ideal for towing the well drilling rig?
Thanks for sharing. It got problems but it works.
Cracking video
This needs a full review from the chieftain from world of tanks! I bet they could use it in Ukraine
With such huge pores in the welds, it's very strong, yes. You need to carry a generator and a welding inverter with you.
Glad you made the comment, that porosity would HAVE to be fixed if I owned it....
Sure it maybe functional, but looking at it would FUCK with my head
You are gonna need at least a 20 mm auto cannon on that in case of zombies.
Cool machine and good craic. Cheers mate.

A little tweaking here and there and you have it... Nice for sure though...
Looks like a lot of fun

These are Mercedes Benz parts, so its practically a Maybach
The prototype for the Challenger III.

I wondered who'd bought this 😂
I can’t believe how well it worked, but let’s be honest, we all knew a track was coming off before this was over.
Brilliant
Standard tracks would be nice
Cool as heck!
This has made my day!
Epic. 👍
Still needs a bit of work lads...
Dear british army..... we've had an idea...🙂
Yeah.
I was worried about them tracks.
Did they ever do a good up-grade on them?
Fuckin' Clowns! ....Damn that looks like fun!
💪👍👍
That will scare the shit out of Putin.
How does the turning mechanism work?
It look like a ripmax
More like the "Gypsaw"
Not a nag transmission
FAF
дякуємо за допомогу але взяли за звичай нам свій старий непотріб скидувати.
ВАМ ВСІМ потрібно поцілуватися і помиритися з Росією, ми втомилися фінансувати бика Обами і Байдена

6:08 not funny!
now that is f-----g hilarious!!
it does look a bit soviet
Good Work Men
Brilliant
