Im not so sure, @b264 Brian, this seems like right up your alley. Ive heard you say that with proper technique, a motor can survive quite a bit of snow. Basically the whole motr gets dunked in a sort of epoxy coating. Is that right?
I just picked the middle wheel since it was most visible. My point is merely that the treads as they appear, are simply flat on the inside, no teeth engaged with the idlers. It looks like all 3 rollers are idlers. basically, if i were to apply torque to any of the idlers/rollers , it would just spin, but the tread itself would only be driven by friction, which may work in the dry on land, but in snow, itll just cause a lot of slipping
absolutely! Shame i live in socal, if I do build it out Ill have to sell it to somehwere that actually gets snow
I got the solution for ya
Blue is is a 3d printed wall on either side. White is the 3d printing pulleys to turn the tracks. These could have HTD tooth pulleys on them to be driven as well. You would need some good belt tensioning.
Oh I forgot belts are bad in the snow. Swap that out with #25 chain
