It is made by a company called Lynxmotion here in the US... http://www.lynxmotion.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=109

Lynxmotion has a strong reputation for well engineered, high quality products.

okay now that that is out of the way

anyone know of a tracked chasi kit capable of carrying 200 pounds

[Steve Joblin]

sounds like a job for modified snow mobile or tracked ATV.

What are you building ? And why do you need tracks?

[cooldog]

just concidering ideas i probebly won't endup building it

i was thinking a r/c robot that i can stand on and be all terrain

but i gess the i don't need tracks

best idea for a all terein robot, multiple wheels on each side, hinged to pivot

[cooldog]

is the main reason a robot can't carry 200 lb's because of the srain on the motor shaft
or are there other factors

[maverick monk]

that is one factor, you would need larger bearings, larger chassis, thicker material MUCH larger battery.

I've never tried any "buyable" chassis, i make my own chassis ;-) But it looks awsome!

[cooldog]

can you give me more detail on your chasi

[SmAsH]

lol im working on a new robot that has tracks and can stand up...ill try to post a pic of the thing...or draw one in paint

[cooldog]

cool can't wait

[sotu]

I think i know what ure thinking of, u mean like one of those robots you see in the US army driving around in the desert or whatever ?

If im right then, it should be a standing robot but instead of the legs moving its attached tracks (like on tanks) making the robot move?

[SmAsH]

its got base tracks like a scalene triangle..and amouring in the shape of a triangle...so its like a smooth finish.
the when it stands the tracks rotate 90 degrees...
