[MOC] Mini SBrick Tank

[mocbuild101]

I've been a bit inactive on Eurobricks the past couple of weeks (partly due to making instructions for @Aventador2004's excavator, and making a MOC for a competition), so I thought I'd share a little tank I made to test the gamepad support that was recently added to the SBrick app: (which by the way, is awesome!)   

I used a 3rd-party Lipo battery to power the SBrick, which was placed between the two L-motors, and connected to the SBrick via a custom adapter cable: (the red thing in the photo below is part of it)

It's quite a fun little thing to drive, and is nice and quick too:

Thanks, building that logo was a lot harder than I expected, especially the S...

Hmm, it sure looks so. I hope I am not the sole commentor, this is a great creation, so compact.

Well the video has already been watched 37 times, so there must be some interest...

I didn't know that something RC could be so small! Great job on the tank!

Thanks, I've never tried using the smallest rubber tracks for a RC vehicle before (because I thought they were too small), but in the end they worked really well.

great tank, or really an Sbrick, batteries and 2 motors on tracks 

I love the use of Lipo batteries and glad the new game pad control is recommended. I saw it when I last updated a month ago but not read or heard anything about it (I seeked) so didn't know if I was delusional or not.

Yeah, just about...

Thanks, I'm thinking of using the Lipo for more SBrick stuff in the future, as it doesn't limit the power like the Lego Lipo... Which means you can use the SBrick to power 2 buggy motors!

Yes, it's way better than the touch control, and it's very easy to setup too.
