Default RE: About cost and relative value

I bought an extra set of plastic tracks for my Tiger too. I have metal tracks on a Tiger and a Pershing. With the added weight they do ride lower in grass, traveling through it, not over it. When the batteries get low they lack the power for a 90 degree turn. I run Venom 3600mah batteries. The Tiger's metal tracks were pretty loose and frequently tossed on one side after a while. I removed a link from each side and ran it hard this past holiday weekend through every type of terrain I could find, not a single jam or thrown track.


ORIGINAL: Tanker447
I upgraded the motors and went to metal gears also.
What motors did you put in? On a Pershing I put in some Graupner Speed400s. Lots of torque and were stripping the plastic gears so I'm switching that one to a metal gearbox.

I love the metal tracks plan to get them for every tank along with metal gearboxes. While quite expensive, The new ones for the Walker Bulldog look really cool and I'll eventually get the T-81 metal tracks for one of my Pershings for a different look.
