There has been quite a bit of debate about the merits of metal add-ons in the the UK club recently, the general consensus is that because we run in long (usually damp) grass we would be better off with lighter vehicles. Certainly I have found this to be the case with my SU-152 (El-Mod) and KV-2A (Tamiya), neither of which manoeuvres well on soft ground. Conversely my TamMato Sherman (Tamiya) and T34's (RX13/14) are quite nimble.
hey mart you can say that again matey
as you say most of our (if not all)battlefields are meadowgrass which is a real b****h on the running gear of most tanks even my tam sherman tried uprooting a tuffet of the stuff at the MVT gloucester show
again this seems to be a type of ground choice and the fact we dont have scale grass to run around on
that said though my asiatamed tiger with asiatam gearboxes runs through and chomps away at 6-7" deep meadow grass
good job the RX18s fets are rated at about 22amps this is where its needed
