Lego aside, the quality and passion in these videos is astounding.
Lego is never aside!!!
Why aside??
jj4😮
Why aside? Sounds like a skill issue to me. Silence the cop in your head telling you that its less 'worthy' as a medium
Is it?
HE'S TOO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE!
UNLIMITED POWAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am on the search for this man
With legos 😂
but how do you plan to stop him ? he has a tank
We can't stop him he's having a highground
To improve handling, you'll want to make it longer and wider. that will allow you to lower the turret assembly. For the string, you could make it so the string goes through a Technic brick hole so there's no backlash.
11 sec/shot isn't terrible. It just sounds slow.
real life tanks average about 5-10 seconds per shot, depending on the loader's skill, so this isnt half bad.
@@glizzygulper8948 Thanks, I wasn't able to find that time this morning and stopped looking.
@@glizzygulper8948 5 seconds/shot is with autoloaders, still counts obviously.
@@ledocteur7701 Skilled Abrams crew can go up to 4 seconds reload meanwhile russian T series ( T-72 - T90) have autoloaders that go 7 seconds reload
@@GlopPlopJop dang that's fast, tho with the autoloader you don't need any training to load relatively fast, so it depends what you're trying to achieve.
Some suggestions for future tanks: try using some sort of differential to make the gun not have to unwind every time
If it’s a MEGA tank, it should have a MEGA cannon!
I would also recommend adding some suspension
I think this tank can be more stable if it has tracks in the shape of a parallelogram
Edit: like ww1 British tank (landship), trapezium is also good but i meant parallelogram
@@greenogorxz7153 trapezium
in every tank converstation you will find massive pp enthusiast
it should have a 22 lr.cannon
When I was a kid, I felt sad because my brother stopped playing legos with me, in favor of playing video games. I thought maybe he didn't like how I was playing with the legos, so I spent four hours building a few tanks, buildings, and military outposts out of whatever legos we had. When he noticed what I was doing, he started helping me build everything up, and we ended up reenacting WW2 D-Day, storming the beaches of Normandy. When we got done, we hadn't even realized it was past our bedtime.
Fast forward to the beginning of 2020, I heard my fiance had taken her own life, and it broke me.
One of the things that dragged me out of it, was my brother reminding me that no, people don't want me gone. He looked back fondly on the day we took a few harry potter minifigs and turned them into the most dangerous men on the battlefield made him chuckle alot when he was going through his own issues.
I love legos. When I eventually have kids, I'm going to get them as many as I can afford.
I'll keep this in mind, to remember fundamental childhood things as anchor, in case I return to dark times ahead.
Sorry for your loss. I hope your kids get those awesome sets with tons of blocks
sorry for your loss man. lego on!
I didn't expect the dark plot twist.
Sorry for your loss, dude. 😔
Sry for ur loss bro😔
Imagine breaking into this guy's house and seeing a laser on your forehead and hearing a mechanical whirring noise.
😂
That thing is truly terrifying.
Nice work!
What if to become less unstable it had the ability to shift its center of gravity?
Or make the tracks like typical tank have, not squared behind like it is for some reason. Adding weights to the middle should also help. It is hard to imagine making the mechanism to shift the centre of gravity not taking a lot of space or even requring additional motors
Really Bad Idea, to shift the center of gravity you would need more motors, more parts, that in the end add lots of weight to the tank, and that we want to avoid.
The solution here is to have the Tracks shaped like the Mark V tank, which would add more surface contact to the ground and prevent situations like in 4:07 (also way less weight than having a whole mechanism to shift the center of gravity)
Just saying it would make more sense to have a German Lego man in the tank rather than a Russian Lego man.
It's such a big tank its treads can roll around both sides of a smaller tank at once

(also its odd)

Heh.... is it mine?
Use a clutch on the string part, you can engage the clutch to wind it up and then just disengage the clutch to fire. The spool will be free to rotate and you don’t have to manually unwind or risk winding in the other direction if you do it too long.
Looks like one of those Jawa sandcrawlers
UTINI!
don"t get me wrong this is very cool and i love the work you put into your lego builds and i enjoy all of your videos but what happened to improving the tank as you find more of its shortcomings? that was always my favorite part about your videos.
I think it’s probably a newer build so he probably hasn’t had time to go back yet. he’s released update videos on some of his past projects so I would just wait
My thoughts exactly! I've watched BEC for more than 3 years, and his submarine series is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. On the other hand, he should be able to make whatever videos he wants, incredible ideas don't always come easily and almost never when you want them to.
True, I feel like bro needs to take his time, both to overcome the shortcomings and also to relax
3:05 ever world of tanks player's dream
SUGGESTION: A fun engineering challenge could be making a tank similar to the Swedish "Stridsvagn 103" it is turretless with a fixed gun traversed by engaging the tracks and elevated by adjusting the hull suspension.
I second this
I third this
ya choose the strv 103 cuz the suspension?
The "tanks" for watching at the end was amazing! Keep up the good work!
Attaching large pieces of technic together is so satisfying
2:42 looks like a WW2 movie shot
Because of your channel, I made my own Tank. It's smaller but it has working treads, turret, and gun
When the big one ran into the little one, I thought that he would swallow him up...
I wonder if you could use a camera and some programming magic to give it stabilization system and automatic leading like a real tank.
Tank suspension on a sleeker side profile would be cool too
Recreating APFSDS projectiles could be interesting as well.
One suggestion for the tracks:
Could be possible to mirror the front to the back as well? I think maybe part of the problem is that it is possible for the tank to fall backwards. Extending the tracks further back would maybe help?
Love the vids as always!!
This. I think most actual tanks have it so the angled tracks at the front also exist on the back. And the "turret" is always in the center, which probably helps with balance.
adding a second motor to each side would probably help too, but you would still have trouble with balance i'd imagine
Mark IVs had the rhombus shape that i think you are thinking of
I agree. I'd be curious as to where the inspiration of this style came from. I would've thought the most sensible approach would've been to mimic something tried and true like a modern tank design. The completely vertical back has pretty obvious shortcomings. The height could be an issue as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this design was prone to tipping sideways.
a "screw track" version would look insane! very cool!
I love this channel, there's no clickbait or advertising or terrible music, it's just a guy who loves lego and engineering making cool stuff
Cool tank, you always have amazing vids!!
to be fair, tanks don't exactly fire all that fast
rough reload time of the M1A1 Abrams (USA's main battle tank) is 6.90 seconds.
@@west8772 well the abrams doesent fire with a slingshot system now does it?
@@west8772older tanks had longer reloads, plus 11 seconds isn't too terrible. The issue is trying to do this on a much larger scale with round that way a couple 100 lbs
Yeah man that's exactly what we wanted 😀
"Tanks for watching" is the greatest pun i ever heard
The moment it crossed the first gap I could see it was very back heavy. Maybe move the gun forward a bit or put some weight there to balance it out?
So far, its only issue is accuracy (due to wind and gravity)
Whats next? Armed lego drones?
Gap at 2:30 is actually the reason why tank tracks are either

I was watching the mini tank video and thought “this would be awesome on a larger scale”. Lo and behold, this man read my mind.
That is so cool! Honestly, I would love to see an attachment to the Mega Tank that makes a garage for the Mini Tank so that it can drive out of the Mega Tank!
Looks like the unwinding step could be replaced by a disengage mechanism of sort, so that the rubber band pull the string directly. Otherwise, nice. I'm sure these shortcomings could be addressed ;)
Sorry your comment got stolen by a bot
Truly brilliant! Tanks for the great video 👍
Dude I am one of your old subscribers and I am SO HAPPY your back on youtube!
That first shot was very cool. "WE ARE THE BRICKS. YOU WILL BE ASSEMBLED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."
2:48 when u r bullied and ur brother came
It's amazing how many videos we've had from you these days!
*[Netflix]:* “Are you still watching?”
*[The viewers]:* 4:04
it has no flaws in my eyes. simply beautiful
The design is very human, really easy to use!
What would've made this thing even better is if you made a loading area for the mini tank, it would've also filled out the empty space in the bottom.
And also a new, stronger cannon.
The lego turntable for showing off the other lego builds is 10/10
The 11 second fire rate is pretty realistic for a tank Ngl. Modern tanks maybe faster, but old tanks were way slower too. Like the Sturmtiger, it's 300lb missle took almost 15 minutes to reload. In Warthunder and some other games it takes between 30-60 seconds to reload the insta kill shot.
That is impressive beyond words. For stability, you may want to add a trench skid or extend the rear end of the track, like on WW1 British tanks.
What laser did you use?
I was wondering this too.
Brilliant! It reminds me of the Sandcrawler from Star Wars.
I wish I had the money to spend on all the cool parts used to make these designs. I live vicariously through this channel, so keep making cool things!
what an excellent idea
Impressive . . . Most impressive.
I believe the shortcomings you listed are solvable. The stability issues simply require a redesign of the treads to make the driving surface longer. As for the cannon, perhaps a quick-release mechanism on the winch? Or maybe make the pulling-back thingy (I'm an engineer 🤪) separate from the "bowstring" as in a crossbow and make it move forward to get out of the way.
Ah yes, last time we got the *mini* tank, so of course we need the *MEGA* TANK
Irony aside, epic build
I like the little control cubby with its ladder down inside
To solve the problem at 4:04, all you need is make the tracks symmetrical, so the slope would be the same front and back
Like Mark 4 tank
nice work👍
On that scale it should be possible to make a working suspension.
I once tried building a suspension myself, but had neither enough parts nor your technical expertise, so i would love to see you try it out.
Mini tank: ✅
Mega tank: ✅
GIGA tank: ? 🤔
You can get it bigger, I'm sure.
Anyway I really like your dedication to the Channel.
The POV part was one of the best Lego-related videos I’ve seen.
*Doom music starst playing* 3:00
4:47 *tanks* for watching
Yes
I think there are more shortcomings with this tank.
-The tank is quite large, so it is an easy target for enemy tanks, artillery and planes, however that is an downside of a MEGA tank.
-The center of weight is too high, so the tank is prone to falling over.
-The gun lacks any stabilization system, and doesn't return to the original aiming point
-Chassis is quite weak and prone to flexing
-The armoring is weak
-Lacks ERA
-Lacks any hard kill or soft kill systems to protect from anti tank weapons.
-Has no gearbox, thus the machine is a logistic nightmare
-Has no suspension, so off road performance may lack
-Really bad sights
idk if anything else
Genius work. Your creations are fascinating and brilliant
Impressively enough, this lego tank has a more complex and modern control mechanism than the Titanic submarine... must be something of an engineering masterpiece.
can't believe how smooth this is😊
This man will rule the world with his lego tank
The thumbnail alone was terrifying
Fantanstic work! Massive tank with the powerful gun!
Reminds me an old video (must be more than 10 years old) of the coolest lego RC tank ever built with fully automatic rapid fire battle cannon and full per-wheel amortization system.
To be honest, that's more like self-propelled artillery. But classification aside, an awesome build.
“Tanks for watching” legendary outro
Just a video of all these tanks doing battle for an hour would be epic
The lego army is not to mess around no more after this invention
The pun at the end perfectly seals off this awesome video.
I mean, tanks for the video.
3:24 Satisfying sound
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. You're making a real difference."
The amount of work in these engineering marvels is impressive.
got to be an engineer for the toy company ...and we are watching toy commercials ...remarkable talent..... wish i had young children I'd buy them all this stuff .......so i could play with it.... thank you for these wonderful vids....................
shortcomings there may be but it's overshadowed by how cool it is
Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
I like the longer videos where you put the pieces together. It’s more satisfying
This is so awesome!!! Nice work! :D
Wish I could press the like button with the force of that thing shooting... also the looks have some 40k vibes. I like 🙂
“Honey there is a robber in the house!”
“Gimme a sec, gotta pull up the BrickController App 2”
*robber runs in absolute fear as the gun takes its 15 seconds to load*
To my knowledge, there are some Swedish tank designs that add suspension to the gun/turret so that the tank can maintain accuracy while moving. Maybe that would be a fun challenge?
You've made a lego boat and now a lego mega tank. I hope to see a lego Warship someday, with perhaps the most powerful cannon to date? Co2 powered cannon????
This is the most satisfying video I've ever seen.
tanks for the video mate!
Always a pleasure!
this was awesome,feel like having a follow up video where you improve everything about it would be really cool
This is no longer the Brick experiment channel, but the FEAR MY LEGOS! channel 😆
That opening scene is straight out of terminator, shit's so terrifying it looked like a HK-unit
Dang, I can’t believe how big this channel has gotten. I remember when it used to be like 15k. Congrats man!
Professional and fun video production with a goody pun at the end. 10/10
good sir i wish i had your skill, time, and legos to be able to make this stuff because having a giant tank you can drive around with a gopro like a video game sounds so fun lol
I wish Lego has this kind of lego set
Gopro shot is pure kino
another beautiful machine of destruction
That’s super cool I love it 🙏🏻👏🏻
This mega tank makes me wanna see them take other stuff, and upgrade them .w.
Like…. Imagine this ingenuity with Bionicle vehicles? Skopio would become a BEAST.
I love this channel, because this guy makes my childhood dreams come true
To make crossing gaps easier, extend the bottom of the tracks back, like WW1 tanks
Thanks for the tour. With this new intel, my Lego jets are being Sortied as we speak.
Bro is living the life we wish we had it ourselves.
All technology of humanity leads to weaponry...
Many tanks for this video
