I recently picked one up, truly massive size but theyre not quite an Abrams -
- wrong suspension
- weird cooling fans in front of drivers hatch/periscopes
- 2 "missiles" sitting on the top LOL !!

It has a bad habit of shedding its tracks, does it something shocking on carpet, concrete and asphault, I think they made it to be driven on glass (less resistance). Tracks are poorly built, plasticky-rubber-wannabe crap, no grip, the joins with the tracklink pins are thicker than the others, which makes it bump and bind as it goes around the sprockets and drivewheels. Today I took it for my first 5 minutes + run, and when I went to go grab it, it smelt like ozone (burnt electrics) although it isnt affected and still functions


Just wanting to know who has one, if they have suffered any/many faults, and if so could they please come forth and comment.
