Default RE: Backyard Armor using ESC not MSC

Vollenc:

I looks like you have the more recent model with the ESC. Everything looks clean. What do you think about the construction of the tracks? I would be nice if they used track like this from Rolling Thunder Technologies with real rubber tracks.



These track are also 1/8 scale. I wonder if they would fit on Backyard Armor's M1A1 Abrams?

Subarubrat stated "The track is made from a very questionable alloy, too heavy and brittle to be pewter but not much tougher. The links are cast and then holes are drilled for the pins. Cracks develop along almost all the pin holes almost immediatly and some of the edges break apart. Had the links been machined instead of cast this wouldn't have been a problem."

Have anything else been upgraded besides the MSC to ESC?

10mph is a good speed for something that size. I think the HL tank are rated for 12mph.
