Respectfully, I disagree with the weight issues. They're tanks, they're supposed to be heavy. They aren't ur Uncle Bobby Roy's Dodge pickup...

I like slow and heavy, dislike light and 'floaty'; I'd have mine as heavy as possible and use 10:1 gearboxes if they were available. Yeah I know moderns are fast but I'm also not a fan of jack rabbit driving.....haven't run an all plastic model since Bandai's panzer Iv...
