Hey Gary, glad to see your new toy arrived. The T34 weights about 90lbs depending on the different size batteries I use. I too first used the sabretooth 2x25, but because I inadvertently reversed the polarity once while putting the batteries in, it happens, I fried the sabretooth. I replaced it with the one I sent you a link to and it works much better than the 2x25. I have a 24 volt setup with scooter motors. I have included a link to a homemade Hetzer that may be better for you to get an idea for the paintball setup. Have fun.

How much does your T34 weigh? 12 or 24 volt system? It drives really smooth. I would absolutely love to see some photos of the inside and the paintball system. Did you do a build log? I like the photo Jarlath posted, as that gives a good size reference for the Hetzer and just how small it was. Parking a Hetzer next to a King Tiger is kinda like parking a Mustang next to a full sized Dodge 15 passenger van. Or maybe like parking a Mini next to a Range Rover?
