Omnibot 2000 , Rad 2.0 Vacuum Bot

Skip to comments Jump to end

This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

I will make 4 of these for Sam , and I.think Brett needs some of these too. Bret if you need some treads let me know and if I the mold is still good I could cast a few more treads.

Mine still seem to work. Maybe a little dried out but still flexible and not crumbling. Do you think i should replace them?

As long as they are flexible and not cracking or crumbling then just give them a outer layer of new rubber like I did. But if they are loose , cracking or like you said crumbling they need to be replaced before they fall apart. Lol. These things are like tires , for the long term you wouldnt want a car to have dried out or crumbling rubber. Either way at least put a outer coat of fresh rubber it locks in moisture. These treads are 27 years old and need a little love.
