Default RE: Home Built Baja 5T-PTV (Personal Tracked Vehicle)

Spent Sunday on the computer hashing out the design. I started on the smaller sprockets. I need a total of 32 for the project. these small guys are taking longer than expected because they carry a bearing.





I also started working on the spools for the larger sprockets. These are machined on a manual lathe. I started with 3" round stock.





I am pushing to have the track assemblies finished this weekend. I am going to fire up my CNC router to machine the plastic track link top plates so that I can multitask. It should be interesting to have three to four machines running under one man. Too many parts and not enough time.

Total Machined Parts To Date: 211
