The issue running them both over the carpet is that plastic tracks are much more prone for slipping than the soft rubber tires
Yeah I did have little studs on but they slipped though the top layer of the carpet still unfortunately. With more weight on the vehicle it would have helped a lot :)
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines That makes me wonder how feasible it would be to coat the ground contact portion of the tracks in the same rubber as the tires.
They would be so grippy, the big Lego tyres are so soft when I had the tug of wars it would leave quite a bit of rubber down.
If you put them on an rc car I think they’d melt in 10 minutes :)
Mf I thought it was sand till I read this comment
@@Brando1345 are you high or some shit
since grip is the main problem here, not power, laying a brick *onto* the machines could provide much better outcomes. I suspect the tracks would be affected more than the tyres, since they distribute their weight over a much larger surface area, decreasing grip per area
Hey definitely! I tried a brick on both and the tracks were unstoppable until the force was too much for the track connections.. so I soon stopped
Thanks for the comment :)
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines that's cool! will you make a follow-up video with proper weights? You know, those weights for scales and stuff, so you can add exactly 100g or something like that.
yea! or provide the weight of the 2 machines, at least in their "final form"
Without the knowledge of their own weight and therefore the own force with which the machine is pushed into the carpet, that beautiful experiment (!) is missing one little bit of information.
@@AlexMonas Weights of the machines were provided at every stage of the build. Final build weight: Tank (Large) 4.2 Kg, 4x4 (Large) 3.9 Kg.
I wonder if the load distribution would have made a difference as well, instead of changing the grip pattern, change the pressure of the load
Would make a huge difference. An even distribution would ensure there is no angle to the dead weight. In the video, it was pressing hard into the carpet right behind the vehicle, and basically lifted off the floor at the rear.
@@DysfunctionNoMoreI would have liked to see a brick placed on each vehicle, I think it would have helped both tremendously.
@@DysfunctionNoMoreй
I came here to say exactly this! It was kinda frustrating to be honest!
Thats exactly what i was thinking too but i think the point of the video was more about surface area than actual total grip
The 4x4 had surprising results, though with the way the axles bent, I doubt it could survive under such heavy loads for long!
I added a little weight for grip to it after the video and let’s just say it was on the edge already lol.
Thanks for the comment :)
Never underestimate the adhesion of rubber
@@jasonheckenlively1172 ...and also how fast these lego tires wear down. They wouldnt last 20 minutes on concrete or asphalt.
I don't know if I'm more amazed of the strenght of lego pulling power, the little rope or the plastic tab from the lid where the bricks lay on. Great experiment tho!
You're back!!
Hey there! It’s been awhile :)
I was watching the wheeled vehicle as it took up the strain with the heavier loads, much more and it would have twisted itself apart. I really like the tank, just something about a tracked vehicle makes me smile. Thanks for the video Gaz 👍
Hey Lee cheers mate! Nice to see you post!
I tried the 4x4 with a brick on and it destroyed itself after another brick was added lol.
The tracked vehicle with weight was unstoppable until the tracks gave out. Love tracks too!
I can tell you're really passionate about this topic. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
I'm most impressed by the plastic tab on the lid/sled and the wire or string used for pulling
YAY! Pull tests and you are back! Very cool video!
Hey there Josiah, thank you very much! It’s been awhile :)
Wow long time no see!! Glad you are back with another awesome video!
Hey thank you so much for comment, it’s feels like an eternity. I have a few fresh ideas now :)
The wheeled vehicle looks so cool when loaded
Hey there :) Amazing grip those tyres provide, really soft rubber.
Nice work as always. I've waited for your new vid for a long time.
Hey there thanks for still being here :) I needed a rest from lego. Fu steam ahead now 😀
Alright, guess we need Lego beadlock wheels and tires now.
and limited slip differentials.
I want to see the small tank with a brick on top of the tank. The problem here is all traction, a heavier vehicle would be less inclined to slip.>>
I did try afterwards :) you’re right it’s about weight, the string pulling the rear down under load also helps the tyres more than the tracks.
If both vehicles weighed 10kg the tracks would probably pull double the tyres if Lego wasn’t made of plastic lol
this is so chilling to watch ..nice.
For the tank treds I think that if you put the black 2x1 connectors pieces on the treds, It might have increased the grip because the connectors would have been digging into the carpet instead of the technic bars just slipping (Kind of like a cars tires on ice, the tires starts to lose grip and well slip) theoretically the connectors would prevent that problem, as if you were to put chain over the tires on the car I used as a example. If you put the connectors on to the technic bars and then supported those bars on the side that would most likely need to be supported it would improve the tanks grip as it already has the torque to pull more of those bricks. Just an idea that had probably been in some others people's minds that I thought I wanted to share because I felt like typing out a problem that could be fixed, even though you've probably already thought of the idea I wrote about. Oh and I love these videos I have a th8ng for mechanical moving parts it very calming for me to watch gears gears move. Well have a good rest of your day or night and I hope your having a good one.
Could almost do a whole episode on this one. Various different "tread patterns" on the tank treads...studs, connectors, technic beams, etc
@@jzcapets yeah probably could, but equipment and time is what I need.
Glad your back
Hey thank you! Appreciate it :)
Welcome back
Hey thank you very much, thanks for still being here :)
I would LOVE to see this with the lego air engines see how well those would perform on these conditions
wondered when you'd be back!
Very good progression of build, wheels definitely amaze me. They shouldn't be as good as they are, but just are!
Anyway great viewing 👍🍺🇬🇧
Hey Carl thanks for still being around! Nice to see you post cheers :) I needed a break from UA-cam/Lego, I have afew weird ideas too now…
Yeah it’s scary how much grip they apply with so little vehicle weight, those bricks were hard to pull by hand lol 🍺🍺
Welcome back Gaz!! It’s been so long and I hope you’ve been well! Amazing video and did you get a new camera? The video quality looked incredible! But I’m insanely suprised 6 motors in that tank took so much abuse and pulled so much weight! The gears grinding towards the end made me hurt though!😂
Hey Easton! Thanks for being here still :) it’s the same old iphone(upgrade coming next month, hopefully the 15 pro if it’s out)
I did add some better lighting but still need more. Once the light quality dims the cameras really struggle especially when I zoom in.
Yeah those gears had a little issue on one end near the end lol. Luckily it had power from both ends so kept going like a trooper 😭
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines hopefully that will be an awesome upgrade! Do you have plans to upload more? I hope you do because I love your videos so much!
@@eastonchristensen3601 hey cheers, yes at minimum every two weeks. Some of my builds use so many parts it ends up grinding me down.
I do have a few weird ideas lol. I still don’t class myself as a ‘UA-camr’! it still amazes me how well my older videos do.
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines I can’t wait! Congrats on 126k subs though!
Seeing those doubled-up tires makes me want to go drive a farm tractor.
I like the content and you spent lots of time putting this together. That is much appreciated., Your frictional coefficients between the tire contact and track contact are not equivalent. Also, the tire vehicle creates a moment of traction that is not spread equally across, especially, the rear axle. The outside tires create a V structure which creates a non-linear friction curve for the tires closer to the apex of such V, which is modified by the hitch attachment point. Try an experiment where you move the hitch point under the axle to the center, or just forward, of the rear axle. Make sure the non-static linkage (tow rope) has a trunnion or vector block under the rear axle.
Nice to see you back again!!
Hey there thank you for that, appreciate it :)
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Love your content, man.
@@khalkotauroi2535 Thank you again :)
Can’t believe ur back! Great vid bro🤘 I don’t think that the tracks have the same surface area tho, would love to see if results changed on grass!
Hey cheers Nick, much appreciated! I wish I had more of those rubber studs to help grip.
The wheeled vehicle looks so cool when loaded. Back when we needed him most..
Hey thank you so much :) yeah it had some stress through it’s chassis!
Nice experiment 😊
The corrugations on that tote lid are setting up more drag for the tires and tracks to overcome.
Maybe try a test with the weights on a smooth-bottomed drag sled?
Watching the 4x4 dig in and flex upon taking the load is awesome. I wonder if the tyres had some sort of bead lock to stop hub spinning and extra vehicle weight how much could be towed until major component failure 🤔. Great video thank you
Thank you very much! I was so close to glueing them but in the end I thought that’s how it is.
The weight was so much, it was tough to drag it with your arm as the friction was so great. I can’t believe it didn’t break haha :)
Legos out there pullin my curls
been a minute since I've seen one of your videos. I'm back though lol
You spend a lot of time making videos ty for curing my boredom
Hey thank you for that :)
On the wheels you can see they are all toeing inwards, for max strength I reccomend toeing them outwards when stationary that when they pull themselves inwards they straighten out
Back when we needed him most.
Hey thank you so much :)
Please do a comparison of different caterpillar track mods. EG 1x1 plate studs vs full width plates vs rubber on different surfaces
Well, tanks aren’t designed for pulling necessarily. They’re made for rough terrain so they won’t get stuck. Obviously the 4x4 will win here as it has a much better weight distribution than the tank.
It was still close :), with extra weight on either vehicle the bulldozer tracks would have an advantage eventually
Nice video! It would be cool to see a food scale or something to measure how much force it takes to pull the sled.
Hey great idea and thank you! I wish I had thought of that as I have one I bought for earlier tests! Thank you :)
Welcome back!!!!🎉
Hey thank you for that, so glad people are still watching :)
Dude built a solid gear box 👏
I didn't realize how more wheels = more traction. I thought the traction would just be more distributed, not amplified. I guess the added weight of the wheels and support is what adds more traction. If the same weight was added without the additional wheels, my guess is that it would have the same traction.
To maximize friction (traction) you can maximize surface area in contact with the ground
Edit: as Jimmyprior pointed out, this is entirely wrong. Surface area has no bearing on frictional force.
@@jamesodwyer2115 What's the physical justification for this? Broadly speaking, friction in generally limited by the normal force and material properties, not based on the contact area.
Yeah I was intrigued by this. What helps with the pulling is the string is pulling the vehicle down at the back. If the string was horizontal like in a tug of war I’m not sure how much extra help the tyres would give.
@@jamesodwyer2115 increased surface area shouldn’t increase frictional force. The equation for frictional force is coefficient of friction multiplied by normal force. I think some other things are going on here that are causing the discrepancies (wheels are heavier, sinking into carpet)
Tractors and other farm machines do this I always thought it was to distribute the weight over a larger area so if you hit a slick spot it doesn't start slipping and sink you to the diffs. There's also the option for instead of two standard tire and rim to have a single fat tire. Some silage trucks run fat tires instead of duals, call them "floatation tires".

thank you for tossing the "studs" on the track, was gonna comment that I thought tank treads had at least equal grip potential to tires with the... claws? (sorry don't know actual term) on most treads from what I saw. Flat tread, especially as close together as those look, I would imagine wouldn't be effective in any situation really.
So you can haul your small child with Lego now. Cool
Very cool designing
Welcome back!
Hey cheers, really appreciate it :)
You're Back!!! 🙂
Hey hey it’s been a long time! Cheers, hope things are good!
Man how?!? Do u this without instructions?? It's amazing I dream about it as well but I have no idea on what parts u call what and so on and motors , and just the straight up genius u are. And I'm hooked on technic now but I wanna CREATE😂 I know you know what I'm talkin about. 💯❤
Keep on man I'm studying ur videos my man!!😅
Oh my thank you so much for the comment, much appreciated :)
I used to play with Technic lego lots when I was a kid and when I started back up again years later it did take me awhile to get back into things.
I’d say just experiment and build whatever, you’ll soon get the knack after a few weeks.
love this
Super 👍😍😉
If lego tracks actually had some decent grip pieces (they have always been awful on fabric surfaces) then I reckon it would've been able to handle more before needing to be modified
Yeah even with the little rubber studs they were sliding through the top layer of the carpet still. With more weight it would have been great but I think plastic would start snapping :)
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines I thihnk I may have to design some that can be 3d printed with that weird rubber fillament, because from my tests that stuff is pretty grippy.
That would be great, I think my little rubbers have dried up a little too compared to when they were new and tacky.
Imagine the stuff you could build on Besiege. That could be a series on its own lol👍
Haha I need to get back into gaming!
Nice builds
Hey thank you for the comment :)
Weight distribution wouldve been a game changer i think
I would say that the difference in height of the hitch point has a large impact on the outcome.
The results would be more in favour of the tank if the height were identical!
First! very nice comparison.
Hey Max! Thank you :)
Someone needs to make steel lego pieces for this man to tinker with!
He came back from the dead!!!! Didnt think that would happen. Also i dont know how you dont have 3mil subs like all the other lego experiment channels. Quality is same if not better.
You remember me still? I hope
Hey there I hope you’re well and sorry for the late reply I was busy doing my last video. Brick experimental does things so well, thanks for the lovely comment, cheers :)
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines all good. watched the other video today and its bonkers. thanks for the reply!
Hey brilliant cheers, sorry I thought the cool reply was to this post and didn’t see this one.
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines mistakes happen, even to the best of us. dont worry
With a little weight on the front of the 4x4 it would have done much better. Especially once you added the 1st and 2nd set of extra tires the front tires were not doing much due to weight transfer. If you had sat 1 brick on the front I think it would have pulled quite a bit more or twisted an axle trying.
Yeah definitely! The front was in the air which is why I left the front axle quite supple so the outer tyres still touched(probably did very little still)
I’ll make a giant 8x8 truck soon with more weight just to see how much weight it can pull before lego breaks :)
now i know i can put actual guns on my tanks and it will do just fine :)
You need to add weight to the front. The front wheels and tracks are lifting up. You have to keep the front down.
I want to see it ran again, but with weight added to the machine, like a brick added to them to force the wheels/tracks down,
Hey Darren I did try afterwards with a brick, the 4x4 was right on the edge already and the hubs just started spinning inside the tyre. The tank could have pulled quite a bit more though :)
Dang the poor lid it looked like it would snap at any moment twords the end and man was the 4x4 squatting i think if it had a metal rod for the axels it might have been able to do one more brick i also think if they were laid out on the lid instead of stacking both would have done more
Yeah the lid broke as I move it afterwards lol. Things here were right on the edge of braking as when I added weight onto the vehicle it didn’t go so well lol
In the comparison it would have been nice to know the weight of each vehicle per pull. Was a cool video through.
Hey thank you, I did put the weight of the vehicle down. I think, if that’s what you mean?
Went back and re-watched the video, and yep, I overlooked that portion just focused on the pulls.
TIRES !!!! as always !
I am once again requesting that you make a lego combat robot
You solved my question about FS22. It turns out that the dual tires are more powerful than the tracks.
Can we give a shout-out to that lid?
That is one tough piece of plastic
Had you spread the bricks across the plastic lid I believe that you would have needed less modifications
Putting all the weight at the front would make the lid dig in to the carpet makeing it more difficult
Would love to see a part 2 with my idea put the test and rhe results compered
Cool video still though
Hey there thanks for the comment! There was a ridge around the plastic which was really sturdy and the centre was flimsy. Ideally I needed a wooden board on top of this which would have been better like you say, spread it out :)
Where do you get this stuff
The tires are mounted wrong, the "arrow" should point back(looking from the top)to increase the grip
When is the plastic grip of the lid you are using going to break! IKEA?
What would be the difference for the 4x4 of you would change the tire direction?
GazR is back!
Hey cheesy!! Thanks for being here still :)
Надо было попробовать поменять направление протектора на колесах. Интересно, изменился бы результат?
Если бы перенести на колесной технике обе оси как можно назад, то уверен тяговое усилие бы возросло
Move your hitch point to the underside of the vehicle at its center point of gravity.
Just a suggestion:
1. Whenever the car/tank is pulling over the bricks to the cone and takes around 7-10 seconds
Pls do like 2x or 1.5x and if u wish to , rather then machine sounds , add light music
Just vehicle sound when crucial moment like axle break and stuff
If u add these (totally up to u) the viewing experience would be lifted too much 😳😅😈🤞🏻🤣🔥
I want you to take the teris vs traks cars but with krashes
Seems like a lot of folks don’t understand the capabilities of tracked anything. It’s superior in nearly every aspect. It would make almost no difference on what surface the test was on or load placement on the sled (lol). The test is tracks vs tires, 9/10 tracks win every scenario. There’s a reason the largest ag tractors are tracked, there’s a reason tanks are tracked, there’s a reason the biggest strongest dozers and excavators are tracked, there’s reasons folks…
next challenge to make technic robot to pull car real🤣
Смотрю я на это и думаю, теоретически - можно собрать лего машину и самому на ней ездить. 😂
Haha one day! Need more parts :)
Can you make a Tutorial, how to Programm the Lego motors
Hi there I use the brick controller 2 App with all my builds using powered up lego.
I have got a tutorial further back near the start of my channel.
You need a Bluetooth controller(like a PS4 or Xbox controller) connected to a smart phone :)
From the thumbnail I thought it 2as q lego jenga stacker😅
Only if I can get my hands on 3x the amount of legos so I don’t need to walk around my house
May have been good to load one brick on each vehicle to increase traction
It isn’t the addition of tires and tracks that is making them pull more, it is the addition of weight. The term is ballast, and simply means to weight the unit to put the power to the ground. Look up ballasting agricultural tractors for more information.
Simply put you need to have the proper total unit weight and front to back weight ratio for the most efficient power transfer, which was off for the tires unit as you could actually see it shift in the last couple pulls. You did not power out in this video, you always spun out, so keep adding weight to the machines to find the max pull. You also should have the weights the same for both machines to accurately compare the systems directly.
But in a nutshell you are showing with blocks, what we do in the Agriculture world!
Hey there thank you so much for the comment/insight, it’s much appreciated! :)
I tried to keep the weights similar and the weight distribution.
I tried both with a brick on and they were already very near the limits of things snapping which I didn’t want in this video.
not to nag or try and say you should've done it, but if the bricks were a bit more evenly spaced on the sled I feel as if the results might be a little more accurate or interesting
Hey that’s ok, it tried to keep it consistent. Each run was done many times and always the same :)
Tank looks like a TOG II
Is that sandpaper or carpet
i don't believe this is fair because the amount of surface area contact drastically changes grip.
Would increasing the load on the motor vehicle have worked without increasing the number of tyres/tracks. Otherwise the load is heavier that the tractor.
That would have been a good test, maybe another video! Extra weight Vs extra grip but equal weight. Thank you :)
ur tank was a t28 then installed the extra tracks thus the t95
If it doesn’t make it difficult, why close the tracks inside? I recently started building as a technician
Hey good luck :), what do you mean by close the tracks inside?
@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines yes
The Tires were sparking
4x4 is super strong😮💪
The tank had 3 up grades the truck only got 2
if you rotate the tires you should get better results
adding wheels does not increase friction, they ride better due to the extra weight
the right one has wrong name 0:08
