New to DIYGOKARTS does anyone make tracked vehicles here?

[Sasquatchy]

I am happy to have found you before I blew anything up. I want to build some electric mini tanks w paintball guns in the cannon. There are not many people doing this and I am hoping it is not because it is a terrible idea. If this is not feasible, we may build a half track out of an old golf cart and put a turret on top. Let me know if there is a tracked vehicle discussion

I think we used to see, in general, paintball tanks in the wee early 2000s but they didn’t usually have actual tracks. Are you talking about actual tracked vehicles or just the semblance of one?

This is probably required reading:

That’s definitely ambitious but not a terrible idea at all. Full tracks can get tricky pretty fast, so starting with a half-track setup might save you a lot of headaches. Either way, sounds like a fun build

The hydro motors from a zero turn mower would seem ideal for running tracks. They can spin in place, so why should you not have that capability? Find an old zero turn and get a track setup meant for a 4x4 truck.

I need you to elaborate on that, I’m dumb.
By the way, three cheers to the bot “JulianBeckett” for reviving this thread.
