Ok cool. So I didn't expect to be able to use a higher voltage battery, that should totally help. Add some weight to balance it out.. that will be (hopefully) an easy task.
I'd love to get my M41 to the point that I can make an Tank vs. Rock crawler video.. of course at the end the tank shoots the truck and blows it up haha.
I wish you said the stock tracks work better because I paid the extra money for metal tracks and then painted them and everything, but I probably need the driving experience first anyway before I can take advantage of a grippy abrams track.
I'll check out your build thread for sure.
