Caterpillar all-terrain vehicle from coffee sticks

Modeling / Auto Moto

Good day! Today I would like to tell you about a simple model of a toy all-terrain vehicle, which was assembled by the author of crazyPT. This model very easy to manufacture and, in my opinion, should really like the children. Let's get started!

To make such a model you will need:
1. coffee and ice cream sticks
2. bath mat
3. gear motor
4. 2 batteries "Krona" on 9v
5. 9 bottle caps
6. juice bottle
7. 2 pens
8. skewer
9. switch

From the tools: Screwdriver, scissors, hot glue, knife, pliers

First you need to glue the lower part (the wheels, the cab and everything else will be supported on it). It is made of 5 coffee sticks glued together. After the glue dries, the motor sticks. The cover is glued on the back of the motor (it will have tracked wheels)

Now you need two handles, from which you first need to pull out all the excess. You need to cut two small pieces. After processing them with sandpaper, you will need to glue them on the ends of the motor, as the author shows. After that, you need a skewer that needs to be glued to the lid behind the motor

We turn to the manufacture of wheels. They will be made of caps. All covers must be drilled and then glued together.

From a piece of a coffee stick, you need to cut out two small pieces. After processing, drill holes.

The first pair of wheels must be glued directly to the shaft glued to the motor. Put the second on the skewer and fix with chopsticks that were made earlier. Sticks need to be fixed on the axis with hot glue.

Now the workpiece must be turned over and a hole is made in the bottom to bring out the wires.

At one battery, you need to remove the terminal block (it will serve as a connector). We fasten the switch and the motor itself to the terminal block.

Now we need to make tracks. Caterpillars will be made from a rug. Having cut off the strip, you need to adjust it to the desired length. After gluing the tracks, you need to leave them to dry for a while.

After drying, put the tracks on the wheels. Sticking pieces of skewers need to be trimmed

Now you need a bottle of juice. Having previously cut off her neck, you need to cut it in half with scissors. This will be the cabin of the future all-terrain vehicle. From the end you need to cut a hole for the switch.
