DIY Electric Tank Educational Toy Kit
Prepare the Body: Assemble the main body using the plastic parts. Start with the base plate and attach any side supports or structural components as per the instructions.
Install the Motor and Gearbox: Attach the motor to the gearbox. Secure them in place on the base plate using mounting brackets and screws.
Attach the Pulley Wheels: Install the white pulley wheels on the drive axles and motor shaft. Ensure they are aligned properly. Use small screws or set nuts to secure the pulleys.
Install the Battery Pack: Secure the transparent battery pack in place on the base plate. Ensure it is easily accessible for battery replacement. Connect wires from the battery pack to the motor via the switch. Solder the connections if necessary, and insulate them.
Attach the Rubber Belts: Loop the rubber belts around the pulleys as per the image. Ensure proper tension to avoid slipping. Adjust the positions of the pulleys if necessary to maintain the correct tension.
Connect the Wiring: Wire the motor, switch, and battery pack together. Ensure the switch is accessible for easy operation. Double-check the polarity of the connections to ensure the motor runs in the correct direction.
Install the Tracks: Loop the rubber tracks around the drive sprockets and idler wheels on both sides of the tank. Ensure the tracks are properly tensioned to allow smooth movement.
Final Assembly and Testing: Insert the batteries into the battery pack. Flip the switch to test the motor and ensure the pulley system drives the tracks correctly. Adjust any components if necessary for optimal performance.
Customization: Optionally, add the antenna and any other decorative components to personalize your tank.
Physics: Concepts of tension, force, and rotational motion.
Electronics: Basic understanding of electric circuits, motors, and switches.
Problem-Solving: Develop troubleshooting skills during assembly and adjustment.
Creativity: Opportunity to customize and modify the tank.
