How to operate:

Throttle - Speed, Throttle Zero will be for stopping.

Trim UP/Down = go Forward/ Backward,

Yaw = Turn Left/Right


Simple Tank Tutorial for Beginners

I built this to demonstrate the tank engine/tracks for beginners. No steering wheels (NO turnable wheels) like a standard vehicle. But the steering will be handled by a separate Engine (Color-coded Orange).

The Blue Engine: This is the main Engine. Input TRIM, Power - 100%
The Orange Engine: Input YAW, Power - 50% of the Main Engine

Blue wheels are connected to the Blue Engine,

Orange wheels are connected to the Orange Engine. On both sides, Orange Wheels have to be selected in the Reverse Engine Direction.

With this method, you don't need any special modding, just simple engine will work.


I have to give credit to @Kendog84 for this engine concept. Where I learn from his M103A2 heavy tank. For more complex model, go download his awesome work.

    @Pilot2659 No, the orientation doesn't matter. I just made it to emphasize the tutorial

    @WinsWings Does the orientation of either engine matter?
