Default Build hardness. And that is why I collaborated with Daryl Turner!

Ive been driving harder and harder and enjoying it to my own limits, He will always take the high road across the rocks just because his tanks can lol. Myself ive been pushing my shermans etc in my own desert training center near my house and today i blew a tranny in my M50 I just finished... sadly i rebuilt both trannys last year just because to have them new for the tank since they were well used when i got them. Well now i see they are a bit sloppy so im thinking ETO power and looking into that route.
The harder you drive the harder you have to build for.
Agree.

Tip: Though, for friendly competition I did treat my rc IR tanks like a F1 race car. Once dialed in, I did not run the model for just fun, only for battle days and a bit of practice.
