Okay, can anyone please attest to whether all S&S versions have this variable speed control as a standard improvement from previous Heng Long offerings? I am finding far too many ads on ebay and some retailers that say smoke and sound version and then 2 speed forward. A couple here have said all S&S versions have the variable speed control that allows the tank to move at a more leisurely pace and scale like performance. Apparently, as others have described, the earlier offerings were either fast or very fast. This wouldn't be a very scale-like performance. Other ads, like the mato ones for example, will list the 10 speed variety. I have already purchased one that says neither. Its just a S&S version according to the box (as told to me by the guy at Raidentech).

So, those of you who have S&S Tigers or Pershings, could you comment on how your tank behaves when given throttle - thanks!
