Allways ammazzzzed at what guys expect out of these toy model tanks.

There are limits to everything.........Real or toy..........You gain something here,you give up something somewhere else.This applys to allmost anything to do with land,sea,or air vehicles.

You might want to go look up the following as there are some points that help to understand a few things about track vehicles and some other ideas.

Try wikipedia
(continuous track )
(M-29 Weasel )
(Screw-propelled vehicle )

This will give you a little insight on tracks,Rubber pads,and some of the give and take involved with them.

Here is a little question ? Take your little 1/16 scale tank out to run in 6 inches of fresh wet snow.........what would that equal in depth to a real 1-1 scale tank.?
