i just realized the tanks are dual motor. i could wire the same colors together. wait did i already say that?

You could, or you could fix the front wheels so they don't turn (from side to side) and use the tank steering.

I already covered that, check page 1. Wire the motors in Parallel off your drive channel. (Since you're doing a Cars/Transformer, ignore all that I said about track braking.) It may take swapping motors to Bit/ZZ or a trim pot to make it run straight.

Be advised: Most papercraft stuff is NOT ENGLISH. Spanish and Russian seem to be the big users, so some guesswork required to find it.
Build it paper FIRST.
With a good papercraft file, it'll probably only take a day or so to rough out the body. Corners take a little planning unless you want to miter all edges. The more detail you want the longer it takes. Carve in or building add-on stuff takes bloody forever!

A while back I started on a half track. These 1:1 conversions are reasonably popular in Japan during the winter months, which is what I based mine on.

I used a Super Slicks front end and a Takara tank. The main thing that surprised me was that it actually drove just like a car. If I moved the battery over the tracks, it would understeer, and when moved forward it would oversteer

Unfortunately the rubber tracks cracked after a few weeks so I never did finish it.

That's a wickedly cool halftrack!

What length treads does it use?

After cutting it down, the tank bogie is 20mm axle to axle. Rubber bands crack quite quickly, I would cast some silicone tracks with paddles.

Or,one day, I might cast some individual resin track links. That or maybe buy some 1/76 ones, I know you can get 1/35 links, not sure about 1/76. If anyone knows of a kit with individual links or a resin conversion set LMK. That would be cool

Cool idea there OTP. too bad it didn't work out for you. I'd actually like to see it run.
