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. R/C Tank Combat - T010 (Page 1)

I was able to drive that Hetzer a few weeks ago: it is amazing. The fellow that built it lives a few miles from me and is helping my son and I with our 1/6 scratch built project. There are some really interesting vehicles in that group. Each tank has its own build page and they have score sheets posted from their paintball battles. I believe Joe's Hetzer is the highest scoring tank in the group. It also is one of the oldest; I believe 12 years or something like that.
